When I received this
email, I could not believe it... So, I checked with Snopes... I learned that it
is TRUE: http://www.snopes.com/politics/military/funeral.asp
There has been a
change in U.S. military burial protocol! This is a letter that my good friend’s
husband wrote today after his uncle’s funeral yesterday. If Obama does not want
his name associated with our military, he does not deserve to be "The President
of the United States". - Alice Frankovitch
REMEMBER THIS on
NOVEMBER 6, 2012
Dear Sean,
Today I was incensed
at the conclusion of a traditional Serbian-Orthodox funeral for my beloved
85-year-old uncle, Daniel Martich, who proudly served in the US Army during the
Korean conflict. During the committal service at a Pittsburgh cemetery the local
military detachment performed their ritual, then folded and presented the
American Flag to my aunt. As I 'm sure you have witnessed during military
funerals, a soldier bends to one knee and recites a scripted message to a
surviving relative that begins 'On behalf of the President of the United States
and a grateful nation, I wish to present you with this flag in appreciation for
your husband 's service .. ‘However, today the dialogue was 'On behalf of the
Secretary of Defense and a grateful nation... '
After the service, I
approached the soldier who presented the flag to inquire about the change in
language. His response was: "The White House notified all military funeral
service detachments to immediately remove 'the President ' and insert 'the
Secretary of Defense.' I couldn't believe what I heard!
The soldier just
smiled and said, "You can draw your own conclusion, Sir, but that was the
order." He, too, was ashamed of what he was required to say.
Obama has taken off
the gloves. My only response to this endless cesspool of anti-American rhetoric
dripping from his mouth is to borrow a phrase "with one minor change" uttered by
another temporary Washington resident living in government housing (his wife!):
"Today for the first time in my adult life, I am ashamed of the current U.S.
President!" I did not serve in the military but my love of country parallels
that of people like my late uncle who bled red, white and blue. As a second
generation Serbian-American who’s heritage produced many patriotic military
men and women who fought for freedom both in the United States as well as in the
former Yugoslavia (most recently in Kosovo against the slaughter of Serbs by
Muslim extremists), I implore you to make the American people aware of this
little-known or, at least publicly acknowledged fact. May God Bless you and your
family during these difficult times. Your voice of reason is a welcome change
from the insanity plastered across the country by the liberal media. Keep up the
great work and thank you for your service to our country. Sincerely, John G.

PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO
FRIENDS AND REMEMBER 2012 IS TIME FOR A NEW PRESIDENT AND COMMANDER IN
CHIEF
Here’s
another:
OBAMA STOPS SOLDIER
FROM SPEAKING
Something you’ll want
to be aware of: Obama stops soldier from speaking.....Sent by Retired Vice
Admiral Bob Scarborough, of Arlington, Va.
"I wanted to give you
all some disturbing information on our president. I work with the Catch-A-Dream
Foundation, which provides hunting and fishing trips to children with
life-threatening illnesses. This past weekend we had our annual
banquet/fundraiser event in Starkville.
As a part of our
program, we had scheduled Sgt. 1st Class Greg Stube to come; he’s a highly
decorated U.S. Army Green Beret and inspirational speaker who was severely
injured while deployed overseas and didn’t have much of a chance for survival.
Greg is stationed at Ft. Bragg, NC and received permission from his commanding
officer to come speak at our function.
Everything was on go
until Obama made policy that "NO U.S. SERVICEMAN CAN SPEAK AT A FAITH-BASED
PUBLIC EVENTS ANYMORE".
Needless to say, Greg
had to cancel his speaking event with us. Didn’t know if anyone else was aware
of this new policy. You’re just starting to see the Obamanation. This is just
how the Nazis did it in the 1930s - slowly, one step at a time. This should be
forwarded to everyone regardless of party affiliation! We have lost 50% of our
freedom of speech in the last 2 years. The news media is not allowed to print
anything negative about Obama.
ARE YOU STILL GOING TO
RE-ELECT HIM???????????
