Flag-Folding Recitation Banned at Veterans Cemeteries Nationwide
While America now caters to the minority few who want things their way or the highway, those who ultimately promote intolerance in the name of tolerance, have done it again. Now our veterans who have fought so hard for the freedom of others can no longer be honored by way of the flag-folding recitation at veteran cemeteries. Here are a few snippets from the news articles….
Through thousands of military burials, Memorial Honor Detail volunteers at Riverside National Cemetery have folded the American flag 13 times and recited the significance of every fold to survivors of those being laid to rest.
A single complaint lodged against the words for the 11th fold recently prompted the National Cemetery Administration to ban the entire recital at all 125 national cemeteries.
“It is a perfect example of government choosing to ignore religion in order to avoid offending some religions,” Miller said. “To me, ignoring religion in general is just as problematic as endorsing any one religion.”

This one made me mad. Especially after they explained how the recital is explained to the family and done only if the family wishes it. There’s no reason at all to ban it.

I agree. Shouldn’t we be honoring the soldier and their family?

Wow. I have been to countless military funerals and have never even heard it. I certainly don’t see any reason to ban it if the family can choose not to have it recited.
