Please be advised some families of deceased military veterans do not want a religious organization to which they do not belong or adhere profiting, promoting its religion version & marketing itself by presumptuously putting its religious wreaths on the graves of their deceased loved ones without permission. Those families consider it uninvited & unwanted intrusions on the personal burial sight 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 to be thoughtless trespasses on their family graves. We do so because we respect their wishes & the religious group responsible for laying the religious wreaths does not. See militaryreligiousfreedom.org.

I do not agree with a lot of what you have to say. All I can say is that anyone who can get $700k/yr donated and claim over $300k as salary is pretty slick.
pretty slick and pretty awful. is anyone watching how this guy is scamming the donors?
Boy talk about sucking on the Government teat, you have ’em all stuck in your mouth. Typical lawyer bottom feeder.
Dear Sir,
You may be correct in thinking that a large-scale effort, of a group of volunteers, to lay wreaths on the graves of veterans is a Christian conspiracy to convert large numbers of dead Jewish veterans to the Christian faith.
Is it also possibly an effort by a group of volunteers to pay tribute to ALL the men and women who have died trying to protect EVERYONE’S freedoms…including religious freedoms? With ALL of the horrible things that are going on in our country right now, wouldn’t it be nice to think of people just trying to be nice. I think it would send a terrible message for ALMOST every grave to be decorated except for those of non-Christian faiths. Can we please have just a few days a year of people trying to do nice things. You may be correct in assuming the worst, but you know what ASSUMING does. It usually makes an ass out of you and me. Let’s everyone try and have a Merry, Happy whatever holiday you may, or may not choose, to celebrate! I think it may have been said before, but “God bless us everyone”! Be SAFE, be WELL and be HAPPY to you and yours.

You should be ashamed of yourself, but I don’t think you have any self respect to start with. 300K salary in a “non profit”? Seriously? If you truly believed the tripe you’re pushing then you should donate your salary to the groups who actually take their own time showing respect to my fellow veterans.
Who determined a Christmas was a Christian symbol….other than you?
I will say it again because it bears repeating: you should be ashamed of yourself.

Let’s put this issue in a slightly different context:
The leaving of Christmas wreaths on non-Christians’ graves is not altogether different from a man putting his hand up a woman’s skirt without bothering to consider or ask whether the woman wants that hand between her legs.
A great many men engage in precisely this kind of activity but, irrespective of their numbers, nothing can ever make it right or, in most places, legal.
To further complicate the issue, such men often are married to women other than those under whose skirts they’re groping, and are fathers of daughters; in each case they would object and even become violent were they to find that a third party was engaging in that same activity with their wives or daughters.
As such, there’s more than a faint whiff of hypocrisy in all this, akin to how the pro-wreathers would react were unasked-for Jewish symbols being left on the graves of their Christian war dead.
