PRESIDENT CHANGES MILITARY FUNERALS When I received this email, I could not believe it... So, I checked with Snopes... I learned that it is TRUE:http://WWW.snopes.Com/politics/military/funeral.asp 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 ". - Alice Frankovitch 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 Weirton, WV (304) 374-3518 (304) 723-5414 PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO FRIENDS AND REMEMBER 2012 IS TIME FOR A NEW PRESIDENT AND COMMANDER IN CHIEF
Here�s another
OBAMA STOPS SOLDIER FROM SPEAKING
Something you'll want to be aware of: Obama stops soldier from speaking.....Sent by Retired Vice Admiral Bob Scarborough, of Arlington , Va. "I wanted to give you all some disturbing information on our wonderful president. I work with the Catch-A-Dream Foundation, which provides hunting and fishing trips to children with life-threatening illnesses. This past weekend we had our annual banquet/fundraiser event in Starkville ..
As a part of our program, we had scheduled Sgt. 1st Class Greg Stube to come;
he's a highly decorated U.S. Army Green Beret and inspirational speaker who was severely injured while deployed overseas and didn't have much of a chance for survival.
Greg is stationed at Ft. Bragg , NC and received permission from his commanding officer to come speak at our function.
Everything was on go until Obama made a policy that NO
U.S. SERVICEMAN CAN NOT SPEAK AT ANY FAITH-BASED PUBLIC EVENTS ANYMORE. Needless to say, Greg had to cancel his speaking event with us. Didn't know if anyone else was aware of this new policy. You're just starting to see the Obamanation. This is just how the Nazis did it in the 1930s - slowly, one step at a time. This should be forwarded to everyone regardless of party affiliation! We have lost 50% of our freedom of speech in the last 2 years. The news media is not allowed to print anything negative about this evil Obama. ARE YOU STILL GOING TO REELECT HIM??????????? Remember you have be warned take it serious... Robert D. Sinacola COL (Ret), AVN, USAR
Thanks To ALL Who Served And Are Serving.. Please Pray For Our Troops And Leaders. God Bless America ... Land That I love.
With Moslem Obama, ONLY Osama was entitled to a Military
Funeral with full accoutrement.
I followed the Snopes link in the article and it actually says “FALSE” not “true”.
Maybe you should have checked it yourself. Not true.
http://www.snopes.com/politics/military/funeral.asp
Snope says false. Nice touch though pretending Snopes agrees with this.
I think democrats spread this junk to make us look stupid.
Snopes is a Leftist site run by Leftist activists who use their street cred as debunkers to advance the Leftist agenda. Anything coming from that site is suspect.
Do NOT give them the web hit and ad dollars they so desperately need.
President Romney will have to make a lot of changes following his inauguration.
The author of this nonsense EMAIL thought enough of Snopes to include it in the text.
Could be a clue that the author is a leftwinger causing mischief.
The explanation on snopes was very detailed and has more credibility than the email even if the debunking comes from a liberal site.
My dad died this week and his graveside service will be Sunday and it will be a military service (he served in WWII as a First Sergeant, U.S. Army, in the south Pacific)
PLEASE don’t forget to let us know because this has my blood boiling!!!
It is terribly sad that even if it isn’t true, with obama at the helm it SOUNDS like something he would actually do.
Be sure to let us know. Thanks.
Will do!
First, I dont really care.
Second, the email specifically state that Snopes said it was true. And Snopes stated that it wasnt true.
So are we supposed to believe every stupid email that comes into our mailbox that says Obama is a dope.
I don’t need Snopes to tell me THAT.
I guess I would just say, you can stop looking for reasons to hate Obama—especially made up ones. There are plenty of reasons to hate him for stuff he really does/did.
Agreed. False-flag urban legend.
What was the old saying about a lie circling the globe?
I am sorry for your loss.
