As a veteran, this makes me sick!

You don't have to be a vet to be sickened by this...

That ground does NOT belong to the government- it belongs to us, and especially to the Vets who lie in it!

When I said "us", I meant "WE the People of the United States"

I have been a full-time vocational minister since 1982. Off hand I have no idea how many weddings and funerals I've conducted. Once upon a time I was conducting a wedding. At the rehearsal dinner I was asked to do the prayer. As there were present persons who were not of the Christian faith, I was asked not to us the name of Jesus in my prayer. I refused stating that if they had wanted a non-Christian prayer, they should have asked a non-Christian to pray but that I was a minster of the Christian faith and that I would pray with integrity to my faith in Christ. I cannot speak for another minister, but I can guarantee that I know how to render to caesar what belongs to caesar and how to render to God what belongs only to God. In this case, caesar would have to take his/her place in line. Or, they could just walk away and pretend to be useful. Who knows... if they pretend long enough, they might actually get good at something.

I normally don't...

...try to push others' hot buttons on these topics.

However, I'm providing a link to the VA, so you can send emails to the VA questioning them on this issue.

They only understand it when people call them on these violations.

I can honestly say that for the first time in my life I am scared.

Unlike many of you guys, I do not have a god. I do not want a religious service when I die. But I respect the right of everyone to have, or not have, their religious beliefs. I believe that is written into your constitution, and rightly so. I went to 4 funerals last year, three in catholic churches here in France. One was a suicide, but even then the service was conducted with dignity, and the priest spoke kindly of the poor young man who found he could no longer cope with life. I was very impressed by the words he spoke.

People who try to impose restrictions like this should be named and shamed before being removed from office and run out of town.

Sickening

This is about the most disgusting thing I have read in a while. While trying to express my outrage in a civilized manner is hard to do, as some of my TX friends are so fond of saying, "Get a short rope and find a tall tree!"

Okay-
I don't want this thread to slide into general political commentary, or proselytizing, or a general discussion of Christianity. The rules forbid all 3.
If it does, I'll lock it.

This thread is about the denial of a Constitutional and natural right in a national cemetery. <That's a PERIOD

Now, off to do some editing......

Final Warning.
One more, and I ding the poster and lock it.
