Social Functions such as? Or are you just objecting to "Under God" in the pledge or a prayer at a social function.

Aside from prayer at all functions, there are prayer breakfasts and various social events surrounding Christian holidays, not including Christmas and Easter. For example, there are the formal dinings-in for St. Barbara (patron saint of artillery -- better be there if you're an artillery officer) and events planned for the Passion. There were a few more surrounding some other Catholic traditions, but I can't remember specifics. I just know they happened often because I was the one who arranged them.

The Infantry has St. Maurice. Same story - you'd better be there if you're an infantry officer.
