The Military Religious Freedom Foundation implored a Marine Corps base in Hawaii to remove their sign reading “God bless the military, their families, and the civilians who work with them,” claiming it violates the First Amendment.
The Marine Corps Times reported that the sign was installed on the base after the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
Blake Page, special assistant to the president of MRFF, emailed the base’s commanding officer, Col. Sean Killeen, about moving the sign to the chapel or removing it entirely, reports the Honolulu Star-Advertiser.
MRFF’s founder Mikey Weinstein told the Marine Corps Times that if base officials continue to allow the sign to stand in its current location, they would also have to allow signs that said, “There is no God to bless our military, their families, and the civilians who work with them,” or signs invoking “Allah, Satan, or the flying spaghetti monster.”

I just do not get the offense over words that have no affect on you if you do not believe in what the words promote.
I would post this sign also but with one correction:
“Our enemies hope there is no God to bless our military, their families, and the civilians who work with them,”
I have an idea.keep the Military Religious Freedom Foundation off our bases,problem solved.
Right, you and I don’t get them.
It is not that the words they don’t believe that offend them, it is their life’s mission to make sure nobody else can possibly be exposed to those words.
Maybe they can get the Rev Wright to dedicate their new sign.
The world’s on fire, and yet this guy’s big concern is that someone somewhere believes in God. Hard to imagine the kind of mindset that leads to this level of intolerance.
Send them a copy of this :
Just tell the protestors that it is God’s sign. If He wants it He can come take it. Until then it stays!
God bless the Corps.
Exactly!!
But you have resorted to logic.
The same people who object to the sign would support a sign that says “God D**n America” I’ll bet .
May the Flying Spaghetti Monster
protect our president with his noodly appendage.
No, I’m not talking about bill clinton.
F*** em. We should just post this copy of Abraham Lincoln's general order. Call it "A Historical document", and watch them go Ape-sh*t with exploding heads.
