Thank you for your military service.
Please be advised there are families of deceased military veterans who do not want a religious organization to which they do not belong or support profiting, promoting its religion & marketing itself by presumptuously putting its religious wreaths on the graves on their deceased loved ones without permission. Those families consider it uninvited & unwanted intrusions on the personal burial sites of their deceased family members.
The Military Religious Freedom Foundation (composed of 85% Christians) represents, when requested, the religious freedom rights of those families to object & prevent what they believe are thoughtless trespasses on the graves of their deceased military veterans. We do so because we respect the wishes of those military families & the religious group responsible for the religious wreaths does not. Religious freedom is a shield for protection & not a sword for privilege. For more information, please see militaryreligiousfreedom.org.
Sincerely,Brigadier General John Compere, US Army (Retired)Disabled American Veteran (Vietnam Era)Board Member, Military Religious Freedom Foundation
