God bless our wounded veterans and their families.

As for this idiotic policy and whoever came up with it, their feelings or problem with God's Word, well, that is between them and their Maker. God is not mocked.

But someone needs to tell the genius in charge of this fiasco that we answer to this document in the USofA. Fought for by the blood, sweat and tears of those in uniform. It is our God-given right!

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

Please see this post by JoyjoyfromNJ.

We need a direct course of action to make certain our soldiers receive our Christmas cards.

Can someone local confirm precisely where and how to send to ensure they will receive our non-Santa "Christmas" Cards?

Apparently, the name hasn’t stuck very well. My niece is a doctor and has been stationed there for about a year, and she calls it Bethesda. :)

Where the H*** Did this colonel get his politically correct lobodomy in ordering this. Was he going to kick out the Christian chaplains and turn the chapel into a storage room too?

Is C.W. Callahan a homosexual or just another one of your New Age “military” types? What about the First Amendment scares the hell out of him?

I have a FR mail out to someone that may be able to help.

Don’t know if the connections are still solid though.

This incident just fortifies my opinion that our military all the way through is festered with officers not tuned to the Founders establishment of a God favored Nation. I would enjoy nothing more than to see Lt. Col./Congressman West become POTUSA and clean out top to bottom the military of Muslim loving personnel who would change/kill the roots of this exceptional Nation. He could also make some of those who forced him out of service explain their actions. Beyond all this, West is a very intelligent, educated person with a family that truly comes from the roots of this Nation and is incomparable times the patriotism of the Obama family.

To the Walter Reed Command:

BULLSHIT!

on behalf of my father-in-law, at least three Purple Hearts (Iwo, etc)
-on behalf of my son, OIF, first over the line 3/20/2003
-on behalf of my wife and myself, married at Walter Reed Military Chapel
-on behalf of my late father, CWS, WW2, who spent time recovering from an illness in a military hospital
-on behalf of my late uncle, AAF, who was badly injured in the line of duty and spent 6 months in a military hospital
-on behalf of the Army chaplain who gave me a ride in Saigon and the Navy medic at Ca Mau who cured whatever wrecked my stomach (I had to walk out of a briefing by Gen. Cushman)

WTF is going on with our military?

He got his rank on his knees.
I can guarantee it.

Those of us currently serving may not be able to send him non-Santa religious themed cards.
Hmm.
Anonymous cards maybe.

Thanks for the ping. I think this Colonel was probably acting on orders from someone above him in his chain of command.

Billy, Mark my words. November 2012 is going to be the biggest firing of a political party this Nation has seen.

This is ridiculous. I never thought I’d see the day when the USA turned into North Korea.

Right! The missionaries are sending bibles in balloons over Christmas to North Korea. The Westboro Church is allowed to protest under free speech at military funerals.

BUT, an injured soldier is not allowed to practice their faith?! This is ridiculous. Thank God someone was paying attention and the order is being rescinded.

We need a Christmas card sending project to the soldiers there.

We need a prayer vigil -- in front of the White House -- on our knees -- 24 hours a day until Americans add this hedonist creep to the roles of the unemployed.
