But no money for funerals for service members. Sorry to be a downer. Merry Christmas.
Read the article, it says it doesn’t cost much as most funds are raised by charity events and items are donated. Plus it’s a training exercise for the troops. Hope that makes you feel better, Ebenezer! ;)
Merry Christmas to you, Mr. Grinch.
Sorry to hear of your loss
If you have a funding web site for contributions to your relative/fiends funeral expense, please post it.
What you are writing is patently incorrect.
What has been cut is firing squads for veteran funerals.
If the service person is killed in combat, they will certainly provide the service.
If someone did two years unloading planes in Germany in 1961, then no...there is not money for a fully staffed funeral.
Yes, service is important. Yes, I respect it.
But we all bitch about government spending. What do we cut?
