It was reported today that one of Obama's appointees, Arleen Ocasio, director of the National Cemetery for Houston, TX has decided that people honoring their military dead at funerals cannot mention God, or Jesus. They are not allowed to offer up prayers unless approved by the director. Others cannot offer condolences or blessings if God or Jesus are mentioned.
This is an affront to Christians of any denomination. This is an offense to military personnel and families. It is an insult to the men and women who have given their lives to defend our country and Constitution.
The director, Arleen Ocasio, should be fired. An apology from her is not enough. The Veterans Administration must give an apology to the veterans in Houston, and to veteran families nation-wide.
If these actions do not tell you how low in this administration's esteem both Christians and the military are, you aren't paying attention. Call, or email your congressman and senator to demand action. It is time for us to let the offenders know we are offended by this treatment. For too long we have been quiet, when atheists (ACLU) demand no prayer in schools, no Ten Commandments in court rooms, no manger scenes at Christmas, no mention of Christmas or Easter, and so on and so on. We have been quiet when told, mistakenly I believe.
It is time to 'stand and deliver.'
