A Texas lawmaker is calling for a congressional investigation of the Houston National Cemetery after he went undercover and determined that cemetery officials are still preventing Christian prayers at the funerals of military veterans.
“The Obama administration continues to try to prevent the word ‘God’ from being used at the funerals of our heroes,” said. Rep. John Culberson (R-Texas).
“It’s unacceptable and I’m going to put a stop to it as fast as humanly possible,” Culberson told Fox News Radio. He attended a burial service at the cemetery undercover on July 8, when he says he witnessed volunteer members of the honor guard from the Veterans of Foreign Wars being prohibited from using any references to God.

Sounds like the case of a power trip by one cemetary director and an idiot politician looking to score points on the national poltical game.
ReplyDeleteAs I see it, if the veteran's family want to hold an open service praising God, Zeus, Mithra, or The Flying Spaghetti Monster, that should be allowed and given the full honor deserved. But of course I also feel that if it was the veteran's or their family's wishes that no religious affiliation be given that should be just as respected.
