I, along with my youngest grandson, will again participate in the laying of wreaths on the graces of this Country’s veterans. Why don’t you show up so that I can demonstrate to my grandson the finer points of FM 22-102 (Wall Locker Counseling).

Tossing an idle threat at someone you do not know concerning the religious freedom rights of the families of deceased military veterans reflects only on yourself & reveals only your lack of respect & consideration for those families who do not want religious wreaths placed on the personal burial sites of their deceased loved ones. Please see militaryreligiousfreedom.org for information.
The US Department of Veteran Affairs official list of faith or belief group emblems authorized for military graves includes 79 different faith or belief group emblems. Hopefully, you will only place the Christian Christmas wreaths on the graves containing Christian emblems.
