Texas Lawmaker Calls for Congressional Probe Into Ban of Christian Prayers at Military Funerals


An update to this story.  I’ll believe Rep. Culberson over the Obama administration any day …

By Todd Starnes – “A Texas lawmaker is calling for a congressional investigation of the Houston National Cemetery after he went undercover and determined that cemetery officials are still preventing Christian prayers at the funerals of military veterans.

‘The Obama administration continues to try to prevent the word ‘God’ from being used at the funerals of our heroes,’ said. Rep. John Culberson (R-Texas).

‘It’s unacceptable and I’m going to put a stop to it as fast as humanly possible,’ Culberson told Fox News Radio. He attended a burial service at the cemetery undercover on July 8, when he says he witnessed volunteer members of the honor guard from the Veterans of Foreign Wars being prohibited from using any references to God.

‘The Obama administration had told the nation and me they were not interfering with the prayer said over the graves of veterans,’ he said. ‘And I went undercover to personally verify that claim.’ VA officials have strongly denied they’ve banned any religious speech – and have offered support for Arleen Ocasio, the cemetery’s director.” Read more.
