Texas Legislators and Christian Groups Fight to Insert God Into Vets' Funerals -- Against Families' Wishes

Texas Legislators and Christian Groups Fight to Insert God Into Vets' Funerals -- Against Families' Wishes: "Christian military groups are suing the VA to force families to include prayer during the burial services of veterans.

Shouldn't veterans and their families have the right to decide whether religion -- and what kind -- is welcome at their own funerals? The Department of Veterans Affairs says yes. But three Texas Congressman and Christian military organizations want to strip away this basic right. Instead, they want to be allowed to impose unwanted Christian ceremonies on the military funerals of everybody who has served the red, white, and blue...."

It's called the first amendment you dolts!

It is against the constitution, that these idiots claim to want to uphold.  If a person wants a religious service it is up to them.  What is this, the middle ages.
