“We were no longer allowed to say ‘God bless you’ and ‘God bless your family.’”
This article is about three Houston veterans’ organizations, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, The American Legion, and the National Memorial Ladies, and how they are enraged that the Department of Veterans Affairs are censoring prayers and banning certain words such as “God” and “Jesus” during the funeral services, this includes forcing the chaplains not to use the words as well.
I definitely think this article is worth reading because in my opinion, I think this is a violation of the First Amendment and needs to be fixed. I agree with these organizations about being outraged and feeling discriminated against. I do believe these are discriminatory practices because this is not allowing these veterans to show their religious rights by praying and using the words “God” and “Jesus” during those prayers.
