This is not an isolated case. Houston National Cemetery Director, Ms. Arlene Ocasio, prohibited grieving families from using the words “God” or “Jesus” at funeral ceremonies. The Walter Reed memo was approved by the commander of Walter Reed. It states, “No religious items (i.e. Bibles, reading material, and/or artifacts) are allowed to be given away or used during a visit.” Public Affairs Officer Sandy Dean claims these instructions have been rescinded because they did not, “articulate our initial intention which was to respect religious and cultural practices of our patients.” The instructions were “misinterpreted” because they were “ambiguous.”
