The Ellis County Press: Houston VA Bans Mention of God at Funerals for Vets Houston VA Bans Mention of God at Funerals for Vets ================================================================================ AFA [contact@afa.net] on 07/11/2011 14:06:00 The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs continues campaign to censor citizens from freely expressing their religious beliefs. Government officials at the Houston National Cemetery continue to: * Ban the word "God" at funerals for veterans; * Require grieving families to submit prayers or religious messages for approval to the government before a funeral at the cemetery; * Hide the Bible and the cross that were once placed in the cemetery chapel; * Send VA officials to monitor funerals to ensure the VFW, The American Legion or the National Memorial Ladies do not mention God or give a religious message to families who are burying their loved ones. When the Obama VA refused to back down, Liberty Institute took immediate legal action. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgY5ej-9kSg&feature=youtu.be
