Guys, I know many of you have served. I received this from a close friend this morning.
What’s new? Our president is unAmerican and ungrateful. Would he be willing to die for our country? This takes the cake and I find it disgusting. I checked this out on truth or fiction and it is true.
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 my aunt 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.

No need to apologize, as I said, no one wants to see him out more than me, just hate to see falsehoods (From EITHER side)... |

I thought that the definition of a falsehood in a political argument was "something that doesn't agree with me". I'm with you, Serk. It actually bothers me more when someone I agree with uses bad facts or poor logic, because I think it reflects poorly on everyone who agrees with the conclusion, even if they use real facts and good logic to get to the same place. (Not to denigrate the original poster. It appears to have been an honest mistake, and one he is happy to concede and correct. It's the belligerently wrong/illogical that really bug me.) Mark |

Having been on many funeral details lemme tell you, its tough to hand over that flag no matter what you have to say. Apppreciate and honor our veterans.
Theres enough other reasons to clean the house in November.

Read his books and you will see exactly where he stands in his own words. Take his word for who he is and where he stands.
