PRESIDENT CHANGES MILITARY FUNERALS
When I received this email, I could not believe it... So, I checked with Snopes... I learned that it is TRUE:

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".

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

PRESIDENT AND COMMANDER IN CHIEF
Here’s Another:
OBAMA STOPS SOLDIER FROM SPEAKING
Something you'll want to be aware of: Obama stops soldier from speaking.....Sent by Retired Vice Admiral Bob Scarborough, of Arlington, Va. "I wanted to give you all some disturbing information on our wonderful
president. I work with the Catch-A-Dream Foundation,
which provides hunting and fishing trips to children
with life-threatening illnesses. This past weekend we
had our annual banquet/fundraiser event in Starkville.
As a part of our program, we had scheduled Sgt. 1st Class Greg Stube to come; he's a highly decorated U.S. Army Green Beret and inspirational speaker who was severely injured while deployed overseas and didn't have much of a chance for survival.
Greg is stationed at Ft. Bragg, NC and received permission from his commanding officer to come speak at our function.
Everything was on go until Obama made policy that NO U.S. SERVICEMAN CAN SPEAK AT A FAITH-BASED PUBLIC EVENT ANYMORE. Needless to say, Greg had to cancel his speaking event with us. Didn't
know if anyone else was aware of this new policy.
You're just starting to see the Obamanation. This is just how the Nazis did it in the 1930s - slowly, one step at a time. This should be forwarded to everyone regardless of party affiliation!
We have lost 50% of our freedom of speech in the last
2 years. The news media is not allowed to print anything negative about this evil Obama.
ARE YOU STILL GOING TO RE-ELECT HIM?
Remember you have been warned take it serious...
