What I would like to know is WHY No ONE is OUTRAGED about this? Why are WE acting like SHEEPLE instead of WE the PEOPLE who are SUPPOSED to be the GOVERNMENT and the politicians ARE SUPPOSED to be OUR VOICE and DO WHAT WE the PEOPLE DEMAND? How about getting a set and use them or are YOU ALL a bunch of WIMPS?
When I received this email, I could not believe it...
When I received this email, I could not believe it...
So, I checked with Snopes... I learned that it is TRUE:
There has been a change in U.S. military burial protocol!
This is a letter that my good friend's husband wrote today after
his uncle's funeral yesterday. If
Obama does not want his name associated with our military, he does not
deserve to be "The President of the United States ".

REMEMBER THIS on NOVEMBER 6, 2012
Dear Sean,
Today I was incensed at the conclusion of a traditional
Serbian-Orthodox funeral for my beloved 85-year-old uncle, Daniel Martich,
who proudly served in the US Army during the Korean conflict. During the committal service at
a Pittsburgh cemetery the local military detachment performed their
ritual, then folded and presented the American Flag to my aunt. As I'm sure you have witnessed
during military funerals, a soldier bends to one knee and recites a scripted
message to a surviving relative that begins 'On behalf of the President of the
United States and a grateful nation, I wish to present you with this flag in
appreciation for your husband's service ...' However,
today the dialogue was 'On behalf of the Secretary
of Defense and a grateful
nation...'
After the service, I approached the soldier who presented the flag
to my aunt to inquire about the change in language. His response was: "The White House notified
all military funeral service detachments to immediately remove 'the
President' and insert 'the Secretary of Defense'.
I couldn't believe what I heard! The soldier just smiled and
said, "You can draw your own conclusion, Sir, but that was the
order".
He, too, was ashamed of what he was required to say. Obama has
taken off the gloves. My only response to this endless cesspool of
anti-American rhetoric dripping from his mouth is to borrow a phrase "with
one minor change" uttered by another temporary Washington resident living
in government housing (his wife!):
"Today for the first time in my adult life, I am ashamed of
the current U.S. President!" I did not serve in the military but my love
of country parallels that of people like my late uncle who bled red, white and
blue. As a second generation Serbian-American who's heritage produced many
patriotic military men and women who fought for freedom both in the United
States as well as in the former Yugoslavia (most recently in Kosovo against the
slaughter of Serbs by Muslim extremists), I implore you to make the American
people aware of this little-known or, at least, publicly acknowledged fact. May
God Bless you and your family during these difficult times. Your voice of
reason is a welcome change from the insanity plastered across the country by
the liberal media. Keep up the great work and thank you for your service to our
country.
Sincerely,
John G. Martich
