We who serve don't serve any particular religion nor especially any particular political party nor do we/they fight in religious crusades, especially one that rubber stamps wars but they and their followers refuse to Sacrifice as to the results of, let alone the costs of these wars while ongoing and long after!!
Other religious ideologies practice tolerance and respect for the different religious beliefs not of their own, these phony christians of these modern times should spend more time actually following the teachings and not dictating to others, especially the families of others at funerals and by those that crash other families funerals, which is what happened in Texas, seeking to make a political statement but just showing their condemnation against all those teachings!
June 7, 2012 - Families of deceased veterans were shocked and angry last year when religious references were banned from funeral rituals and a Memorial Day service at Houston National Cemetery.
A lawsuit eventually resolved the matter, but a House bill would enshrine in law the lessons learned from that isolated incident.
The new 'magnetic ribbons' the 'parades', same results, but 'parades' only last a few hours on one day! Think 'Desert Storm' and 'Gulf War Syndrome', Ignored, after the 'Parades'!
Such protections already exist as a result of the lawsuit and Bush-era policies that protect families’ free exercise of religion at military funerals. However, the bill filed by Rep. John Culberson, R-Texas, would spell out families’ rights to religious expression while curtailing the government’s role.
Veteran funeral services are held at no cost to families and are offered in any of 131 national cemeteries maintained by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Veteran service organizations often attend at the request of families to perform memorial rites.
Under current law, honor guards are prohibited from participating in religious rituals except as requested by families. Problems arose in Houston when the cemetery director misinterpreted this law to prohibit all religious speech.
Though the Houston dispute was rectified, Culberson and the conservative Christian law firm Liberty Institute want an ironclad legal protection for grieving families. read more>>>
This is what You should be worrying about:
No Revenues {especially from the wealthy who also aren't investing as to free market capitalism for economic growth} = Still No Sacrifice = That's Called 'Support' For The Troops = DeJa-Vu all over again!!
Now a decade and counting, told to go shopping, use patriotic meme's and symbols of support and wave them flags, added to the previous decades of under funding the VA, while the peoples reps Still try and lay blame on the Agency, after rubber stamping wars and costs of and those represented cheer on these wars!
While the wealthy and other investors garner their booty, still, from both and many have the chutz·pa to call themselves more patriotic{?} then others wrapped in those false flags, using false slogans and various cheap symbols of and then seek one day events or parades to wave all that patriotism, call it "Supporting the Troops", then go home and either ignore or forget about those that actually sacrificed for the country!
USN All Shore '67-'71 GMG3 Vietnam In Country '70-'71, and yes U.S. Navy, that which those 'purple heart bandages' laughed about were pointed directly at, but especially any who've been wounded in our wars of choice and while sending troops into two more!!
