E-mail recieved........... Keep up the GREAT work FREEPERS!!!
Thank you for your recent email.
I am in the office but cannot reply individually to the hundreds of
emails sent in response to my Jan. 22 article in The Philadelphia Inquirer
about Patrick Cubbage, who was dismissed as an honor guardsman for saying
"God bless you" during flag presentations. The overwhelming majority of
emails have voiced strong support for Mr. Cubbage.
Readers who wish to express their views directly to the New Jersey
Department of Military and Veterans' Affairs about this matter will find an
email form at the department's website:

Thanks again for writing. The Inquirer will report on developments to this
story as they occur. I will attempt to respond to unrelated emails where
possible.

Dear Veterans Affairs Department,
could you please forward the following inquiry to Iven C. Dumas? Thank you in advance.
===============================
Dear Mr Dumas,
I am an occasional writer and commentator based in Sydney, Australia. Recently I read (on the Internet) an account of your dismissal of Patrick Cubbage. Abusing your commission to harass a gentle Christian in such a PC manner is of course a very newsworthy story which I am most interested in covering for the News Report, a daily online newsletter here. Could you please let me know your side of the story, and whether you could supply a photograph of yourself? My deadline is Monday PM your time.
Thank you
Yours faithfully
Byron Stander
