A secularist non-profit organization that strongly urges separation of church and state in America is taking issue with Wreaths Across America's nearly 30-year tradition of placing wreaths on thousands of military graves.
The Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) is calling out Wreaths Across America, telling the Colorado Springs Gazette that the organization's actions in placing wreaths on military gravesites around the country are "unconstitutional, an atrocity and a disgrace."
"We have no problem if people reach out and want a wreath on their deceased veterans’ graves, but to put them everywhere, to blanket them without permission of the surviving families is unconstitutional, an atrocity and a disgrace," MRFF Founder Mikey Weinstein said, according to the Gazette.
MRFF Senior Research Director Chris Rodda described the tradition of wreath-laying as the "desecration of non-Christians veterans' graves" in a November opinion piece.

Here’s a suggestion:
If you don’t want a wreath on your loved one’s grave, take it off.
I think people have seen what the Rats have already done to this country.
Casey shouldn’t make it any higher than a county roadkill collector.
Mikey Weinstein can go take a long walk off a short pier.
Calling the MRFF a 'secularist non-profit organization' is a near total misrepresentation of this embodiment of Mikey Weinstein's rabid anti-Christianity. When I look at the public positions he (I doubt that there is any internal disputes in the MRFF) has taken, they seem near universal against Christian acts & traditions with only minor actions pertaining to other religions, mostly due to attacks on military chaplains. I still have a smile that the US Supreme Court ruled AGAINST the MRFF & the AHA (American Humanist Association [atheist]) in 2019 when they reversed the 4th Circuit Court and permitted the Bladensburg Peace Cross [MD] to remain un-destroyed or moved.
“unconstitutional”???
“Here’s a suggestion:

Here’s a coupla more...
Disinterre and move the remains to a secular place.
Never wear poppies on remembrance day.
Doubt that very many in this group have a Veteran in their family tree.
