Just think if they make them remove all religion from headstones will they turn it retroactive and have all the crosses removed from all the graves. What will they replace them with? A “thanks for your death” medal?
Below comes from an email forwarded to me:
The first to the last picture are taken at the beach in Santa Barbara right next to the Pier. There is a veterans group that started putting a cross and candle for every death in Iraq and Afghanistan. The amazing thing is that they only do it on the weekends.
They put up this graveyard and take it down every weekend. Guys sleep in the sand next to it and keep watch over it at night so nobody messes with it. Every cross has the name, rank and D.O.B. and D.O.D. on it.Very moving, very powerful. So many young volunteers. So many 30 to 40 year olds as well.
Amazing!
The ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) has filed a suit to have all Military Cross-shaped headstones removed.
And that they filed another suit to end prayer from the military completely. They’re making great progress.
The Navy Chaplains can no longer mention Jesus’s name in prayer thanks to the ACLU and our new administration.
Keep forwarding this e-mail to others. I’m not breaking this one. I’m asking that you don’t break it either.
If I get it a 1000 times, I’ll forward it a 1000 times! Prayer for all allied soldiers… please don’t break it! Please send this on after a short prayer.
Please, let us pray: GOD BLESS YOU FOR PASSING IT ON!
