Are they afraid the dead would get the virus?
President Trump will override this.
Yes.
NOW who’s disrepecting fallen soldiers????
Due to Covid-19 ...
What are the masks here for then?
Masks only work when the Left wants them to work, and they don’t work when the Left doesn’t want them to work.
This shit has gone too far. It will only get worse if the Pretender is inaugurated.
Denigrating anything we hold dear is a big part of gaining control over our life. The communists have to destroy our traditions, i.e. Thanksgiving, Christmas, sports, etc. and isolate us from our support, i.e. family, friends, co-workers, church.
“Following a thorough analysis of the annual Wreaths Across America Wreaths-In event this year, and in close collaboration with the Joint Task Force, National Capital Region, we determined that we could not implement sufficient controls to mitigate the risks associated with hosting an event of this size under current and forecasted infection and transmission rates, while still conducting a respectful and honorable public event.”
sooo...the guys who hit the beaches at Omaha get no wreaths because the military’s Joint Task Force Natl Capitol Region is afraid of/can’t figure out how to handle a virus. Here you go poofs...

Protest
Covid is now the Left’s bludgeon to be used to kill anything they don’t like; attending church, Thanksgiving, Christmas, placing wreaths in cemeteries.
Wreaths Across America is a non-profit organization that is separate and distinct from Arlington National Cemetery. The executive director of WAA is Karen (of course) Worcester.
Are there any Freeper lawyers and accountants out there who have the know-how to get an alternative organization up and running quickly? WAA should simply be run out of existence and replaced with an organization managed by people who give a damn.
Wife will be greatly ticked off if they cancel WaA at the Sandhills State Veterans Cemetery here in NC.
Her Dad is there and she’s been placing wreaths ever since they started.
Safer doing that than going to Food Lion.
Pure idiocy.
The thugs with blm and antifa can riot all they want to, no mask no problem, but these uselesss fartblossoms want to stop the wreath laying this winter.
Outside, looks to me like around 6 feet apart...what’s the problem?
The CCP Virus is the REAL "Cancel culture".
Arlington National Cemetery, an American treasure and a symbol of how we honor those who made and protected America, is also another government bureaucracy.
About 30 years ago, I was tasked to inquire of Arlington what provisions they had for the first few Reservists and National Guard fatalities in the ensuing Gulf War.
Astonishingly, the first two staff (civilian employees)I talked to said they were not eligible because they were not active duty deaths.
They were being killed in combat, yet these people were not aware of that possibility - that a reservist can be called to duty!
I had to get a high ranking supervisor to educate these people.
But a few years later, these same bureaucrats were letting an unqualified Clinton crony to be buried at Arlington (since exhumed after public protest).
In process is a new plan to severely limit future Arlington burials to a very few (Medal of Honor, combat death, Puple Heart, AND CERTAIN POLITICIANS!. Their excuse - “to keep the cemetery from filling up in 2050”.
So much for all those Vietnam vets who slugged it out but were fortunate to not get the Golden Bebee. Guess they weren’t consider part of the war.
Now this on the Wreaths (UPDATE: just rescinded after public pressure.)
Fix bayonets.
"The Army on Tuesday announced that it had instructed the Arlington National Cemetery to host the Wreaths Across America Day event honoring fallen veterans after an announcement Monday evening resulted in backlash over the event's cancellation due to safety concerns amid the coronavirus pandemic.
“Outside, looks to me like around 6 feet apart...what’s the problem?”
Yeah, and all the graves are located outdoors, unless in a mausoleum.
Once again, patriotism is found solely on the political right. They had better guard those flag-draped graves closely.
I’d love to read, “enraged Tomb guard beats Antifa vandal to death with the butt of his rifle”.
