Some people are sooooo dumb...

Read this earlier today on another site.
Lived here 20 years and still isn't a citizen.
Conspired with lawyer to get Gold Star to reject her application so they could get them to change the rule.
I say, become a citizen, and re-apply problem solved.
No rule change necessary.

As a leader of an organization with a charter, I can see both sides of this issue.
I lead a Cub Scout pack. Our charter states that we are made up of home schooled students only. A mom called and told us she home schooled one kid and not the other (don't ask my opinion on that) She wanted to know if we would allow the non-home schooled kid to join as well. We discussed it for a long time and declined to accept the boy because it would dilute our charter for the next time a question arose. FWIW, she told us that she would go along with either decision.

This is crazy. I don't care if she isn't a citizen or not. Her son died serving this country and she deserves this recognition. If our miltary doesn't have a citizenship requirement, why does the Gold Star organization have one?

Even the Gold Star Mothers enjoy the right of Freedom of Association. If they want to set a citizenship requirement for membership, then that is their right.

There are a lot of people serving in our military who are not citizens (I even knew a British girl in the Army), and therefore we have even more non-citizen parents of our servicemembers. Their citizenship status doesn't make their sacrifice any less.

This is disgusting. If the woman's son was accepted as eligible to fight for America - then keeping her out is illogical .. as well as disgraceful!!

For refusing to admit Mrs.Lagman to Gold Star Mothers, Gold Star Mothers better not:
A.) ask me for a donation to their organization,
B.)They can find sympathy where my drill instructor told me where it was, back in 1964.( I will not post what he said here because it is to vile a comment from my D.I.)
