Nik Rajokovic at Houston’s Channel 13 KTRH broke the story here.

This PISSES. ME. OFF.

I can barely get my thoughts together to type this post, but I’m not going to sit by and not speak up for those families who have lost a loved one and are having to now worry about submitting a written request for prayer to someone for approval. Last time I checked, this was the Home of the Brave and Land of the Free. Heads up, Director of the Houston National Cemetery. It still is.

Thanks to the Berry Brigade, here is how YOU can help STOP this disrespectful and unacceptable “requirement” put forth by the Houston National Cemetery Director Arleen Ocasio. How dare she require families to submit their prayers to her in writing for approval?! Oh. And there’s more. And no bibles. And no chapel. Oh wait. The chapel was closed. Read on.

Called my Congressman, Al Green and voiced my opinion to a staffer. Unfortunately, he is a Sheila Jackson Lee liberal so I am not sure how far he will go with my opinion.

Getting a message the number I dialed is not in service!

Director Arleen Ocasio at 281-447-8686 (extension 206)

Can not leave a message at the above number either.

Cowards!

PUT THIS ON FACEBOOK. EMAIL THE ARTICLE. Sound the alarm!

Contacting Congress is all well and good, but the American People need to hear about this, loud and clear.

Even a lot of Democrats and Obama Supporters will be HORRIFIED at this.

I hate funerals. I have been to exactly 3 in the last 50 years. I have passed on five times that many.

But I may reconsider, specially for military funerals. And I WILL bring a bible with me (never did that before!) and will participate in any and all prayers that mention God or Jesus Christ.

Come and get me!

From INTER AMERICAN
UNIVERSITY website:

WE BELIEVE IN GOD AS A SUPREME BEING

God is the Supreme Being who created all that exists. His power and presence are revealed in the person of his Son
Jesus, the Savior, and in the Holy Spirit, that guides the community of faith.

WE BELIEVE IN JESUS

We accept that the apostolic tradition of the Scriptures recognizes and accepts Jesus as decisive, definite and
normative for humans’ relations with God, their fellow men, family and society. Since He is the Savior and 33
Mediator of Humanity, it is our commitment to continue fostering the convergence of all Christians through the one
faith around the person of Jesus.
