Common Sense Commentary: This policy came straight from Washington and is not unique to here in North Texas. Political pressure is building on both sides of the line between good and evil, and will end in a "Duck Dynasty" type revolutionary explosion ... only much more powerful... very soon. What has happened to Duck Dynasty's Phil Robertson, for standing up for what God's word teaches, backfired in A&E's face and forced them to rethink their sinful reaction and also forced Cracker Barrel to eat crow with their crackers. This is a sample of what God's people, and other descent Americans. can do when they stand up, together, and say enough is enough. Now, lets continue to speak out loudly, with men like Admiral Lee, about such things as described in the article below.
If you don't read the following short article, don't miss the short speech (video) of Rear Admiral Lee on the new restrictive regulations imposed on the Military by the Obama administration, at the bottom. RB
V.A. Blocks Vets From Getting Students' Christmas Cards
Students at a private elementary school in North Texas made Christmas cards for injured veterans at a local V.A. hospital.
When the cards were set to be delivered, a V.A. official told the teacher who organized the effort that nothing with "Merry Christmas," "God Bless You" or other religious statements could be given to veterans.
"This wasn't the country I grew up in, when you couldn't say ‘Merry Christmas,' you couldn't say ‘God bless you' or reference any scripture," said a mother of one of the students.
The V.A. explained its policy in a statement:
"In order to be respectful of our Veterans religious beliefs, all donated holiday cards are reviewed by a multi-disciplinary team of staff led by Chaplaincy services and determined if they are appropriate (non-religious) to freely distribute to patients. After the review is complete, the holiday cards that reference religious and/or secular tones are then distributed by Chaplaincy Service on a one-on-one basis if the patient agrees to the religious reference in the holiday card donation. The holiday cards that do not contain religious and/or secular tones are distributed freely to patients across the Health Care System. We regret this process was not fully explained to this group and apologize for any misunderstanding."
