The piece is about a ceremony that takes place at national cemeteries. It's a flag folding ceremony where the flag is folded thirteen times along with a recital reflecting the significance of every fold. As you probably guessed, someone complained. Here it is:
The complaint revolved around the narration in the 11th fold, which celebrates Jewish war veterans and “glorifies the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob".Have we lost our civility?
The second is about a post office in (guess what state) California! A bulletin board covered with photos of local soldiers was taken down because??? Yes, a complaint. Here is a link to Michelle Malkin's article: http://michellemalkin.com/2007/10/22/soldier-photo-tribute-banned-at-us-post-office/
There is a happy ending to this story. Someone came to their senses. The photos are back up on the wall with the ok from the deputy postmaster.
Does this bother anyone besides me?
