OrionStang Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 There has been a change in U.S. military burial protocol! This is a letter that my good friend's husband wrote today after his uncle's funeral yesterday. If Obama does not want his name associated with our military, he does not deserve to be "The President of the United States". - Alice Frankovitch REMEMBER THIS on NOVEMBER 6, 2012 Dear Sean, Today I was incensed at the conclusion of a traditional Serbian-Orthodox funeral for my beloved 85-year-old uncle, Daniel Martich, who proudly served in the US Army during the Korean conflict. During the committal service at a Pittsburgh cemetery the local military detachment performed their ritual, then folded and presented the American Flag to my aunt. As I'm sure you have witnessed during military funerals, a soldier bends to one knee and recites a scripted message to a surviving relative that begins 'On behalf of the President of the United States and a grateful nation, I wish to present you with this flag in appreciation for your husband's service ...' However, today the dialogue was 'On behalf of the Secretary of Defense and a grateful nation...' After the service, I approached the soldier who presented the flag to my aunt to inquire about the change in language. His response was: "The White House notified all military funeral service detachments to immediately remove 'the President' and insert 'the Secretary of Defense'. I couldn't believe what I heard! The soldier just smiled and said, "You can draw your own conclusion, Sir, but that was the order". He, too, was ashamed of what he was required to say. Obama has taken off the gloves. My only response to this endless cesspool of anti-American rhetoric dripping from his mouth is to borrow a phrase "with one minor change" uttered by another temporary Washington resident living in government housing (his wife!): "Today for the first time in my adult life, I am ashamed of the current U.S. President!" I did not serve in the military but my love of country parallels that of people like my late uncle who bled red, white and blue. As a second generation Serbian-American who's heritage produced many patriotic military men and women who fought for freedom both in the United States as well as in the former Yugoslavia (most recently in Kosovo against the slaughter of Serbs by Muslim extremists), I implore you to make the American people aware of this little-known or, at least, publicly acknowledged fact. May God Bless you and your family during these difficult times. Your voice of reason is a welcome change from the insanity plastered across the country by the liberal media. Keep up the great work and thank you for your service to our country. Sincerely, John G. Martich Weirton, WV (304) 374-3518 (304) 723-5414 PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO FRIENDS AND REMEMBER 2012 IS TIME FOR A NEW PRESIDENT AND COMMANDER IN CHIEF SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrionStang Posted February 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Lots of views, no responses. If this angers you as much as it does myself, say something. Copy and paste this to anyone you know. This fucking guy should not be our President. He doesn't know what it really means. He is just happy to be the first black president, no matter how much he fucks shit up. SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sayhuh? Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 http://www.factcheck.org/2011/10/change-in-military-funeral-protocol/ Why does anyone ever believe this stuff? Oh and a surprise, the person Alice has contributed towards Republicans. http://www.campaignmoney.com/political/contributions/alice-frankovitch.asp?cycle=12 Keep in mind, I dislike both side fairly equally and think all Politicians are beyond crooked. THe actual wording: "Sir/Ma'm, this flag is presented on behalf of a grateful nation as an expression of appreciation for the honorable and faithful service rendered by your loved one."

Are you really that narrow minded? Of course they will try to say the change was never ordered. He was only voted into office for one reason. I do agree though, both sides are fulll of shit. America needs to stand up and speak what we really need and want. SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

America needs to stand up and speak what we really need and want. You're going to ask if I am narrow minded followed by agreeing with my both sides suck? It has nothing to do with being narrow minded, but everything to do with how you read an email on the oh so truthful internets who supposedly heard this officer says these words, followed by a smile saying draw your own conclusion. Being prior service, I would never see or expect a military officer smiling at a funeral. The actual saying makes no actual mention of saying the President. (see my edit) I'm saying stop believing a second hand email, it's as bad as believing any politician out there when they say they are speaking the truth.

Real96SS Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 I wouldn't believe everything I read and how can you judge someone off of one letter someone supposedly wrote on something that happened in their life.Every president has done things that everyone in this nation hates.I use to be just like you about presidents until I stopped listening to what people were saying and started doing my own research.I'm military and I hardly doubt just because they changed the wording during a ceremony that its going to change the way people view the president.Most of the changes that happen aren't even directed by the President anyways.So before you go bashing the guy over something that was started and is still going as a chain letter research the people that you are getting this info from and please stop with the spreading of rumors because that's all they are.Break the chain!!!

KillaCam Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Regardless of the letter being real or not I do not want Obama in office any longer. And the fact more than one person agrees does not make it a circle jerk, it makes it a bukkake scene and you're in the middle Chick took 3 shots of Jager, and then, pissed in my mouth..
