If an VA, military or other government location wanted to allow an individual or group to honor a particular MIA with a “missing man” table in that location, would you object to the use of whatever religious book that individual found comfort in?
I think this could be done as a rotating, and perhaps, fundraising vehicle.

Thank you for voicing your concerns to MRFF.

The primary purpose of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation is to fight for Constitutional Seperation of Church and State.

It is our stand that the VA should not endorse, promote or favor any religion.

If the VA is found to be correct in allowing a Christian Bible to stand for Military faith; then we would fight for equal footing, to have an equal display, in an equal public setting, to promote any and all faiths and ideologies that people wish to have represented.

Respectfully,

Jordan Ray
Captain, U.S. Army
Retired

Director, Veteran’s Affairs for Military Religious Freedom Foundation

    I wouldn’t donate my dog’s turds to you morons.
    Austin, Texas is a liberal communist shit hole, therefore I’m not surprised you communists shit birds managed to get a Christian Cross removed.
    Personally, I no longer trust the DoD or the VA clinics for anything, and have not since the plandemic.
    As for you, Mickey Weinstein, your Satantic Jew Cult, with the bullshit holohoax story, involvement with the attack on the U.S.S. Liberty, and what your Israeli cocksuckers did to the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, you’d better watch your ass.
    As for any of you assholes with military backgrounds working for the fraud, your all a disgrace to the country, and your uniform.

    Your comment to the Military Religious Freedom Foundation has much to unpack. You could have been civil and logical with your comments but wrote a nearly incoherent, bigoted, attack unsupported by facts. Were drugs involved?

    You describe Austin Texas as a liberal, communist, shit hole. This insults an entire city because you take issue with an unrelated action within its borders. The VA is a government entity that must follow guidelines to serve veterans’ the health and well-being.. This likely includes chaplains and counselors for emotional and spiritual support. Personal medical issues are conducted behind closed doors. Spiritual support should likewise be held in confidence rather than in a public setting.

    You use the word liberal as a slur and equate it to communism. You offer no support for the connection. Some obviously found the publicly displayed cross to be offensive. How would you feel if other religions’ symbols were displayed alongside the cross. Would you demand they be removed? Allow me to make a leap of logic. You are Christian and believe the cross and related beliefs can be freely expressed in our pluralistic society but other perspectives are inappropriate.

    The tirade against Jews is the most disturbing aspect of your disjointed, broad-brush, and factually unsupported tirade. What Satanic Jew Cult do you refer? Judaism is the bedrock of Christianity. You likely refer to Jewish beliefs as the Old Testament. Do you hold this to be a Satanic text”: If so, what does this say about Christianity? You list unfounded accusations such as the Holocaust being a hoax; that Jews living in the United States were somehow implicated in the attack on the U.S.S. Liberty; and Israeli involvement in the World Trade Center attack. You either have inside information or are victimized by unsubstantiated conspiracy theories. Rely on research rather than opinion.

    Joseph Figarelli is the antithesis of the freedoms veterans’ served to protect, the same constitutional protections that allow you to make the wild statements of an uneducated bigot. You are the disgrace, not the VA clinic, the guidelines overseeing their operation, or the veterans’ who may hold perspectives other than your own.

    This comment, like virtually all comments like this, tells us a lot about the commenter, but nothing at all about MRFF.

    Mr. Figarelli, you are not a Christian. Nor would your beliefs qualify you to be Muslim, Hindu, Jewish, Humanist of Buddhist.

    Joseph!
    Did you forget to take your meds again? Or are they just not working?
    Get back down to the VA and tell them to up your dose again.
    I know you don’t like Austin but it has a good VA center so get down there. The doctors there are more liberal with their meds so go see them!

    You know how you get when you’re off your meds!
