"Let us pray that God will reflect with admiration the willingness of one nation in her attempts to rid the world of tyranny, oppression, and misery," part of the flag-folding speech reads. "It is this one nation under God that we call, with honor, the United States of America."

The speech closes with the words, "God bless our flag. God bless our troops. God bless America."

According to a U.S. Air Force official, flag folding scripts that are religious in nature can be used for retirement ceremonies. “I can’t speak to the specific incident,” Ann Stefanek, an Air Force spokeswoman, told Fox News in 2016. “[But] Air Force personnel may use a flag folding ceremony script that is religious for retirement ceremonies.”

Stefanek continued, “Since retirement ceremonies are personal in nature, the script preference for a flag folding ceremony is at the discretion of the individual being honored and represents the member’s views, not those of the Air Force.”

Did you ever think you would ever see the day where “God” is offensive?

It is offensive to lefties.

Also the word Bible.

Obama regime.
He would have gotten a medal for saying allah, instead
(and no, forget about Arabic translators....allah’s definitely NOT the one true god of the Bible! just the opposite, it appears...)

“God bless America” is now a crime.

“Evidence indicated Mr. Rodriguez was removed by members of the squadron because he attempted to participate in the ceremony even though his participation had been disapproved by the hosting squadron commander...”


Hmmmm! There’s more to this story,I think.

In a statement to Fox News, Roberson confirmed that it was his wish to have Rodriguez recite the speech at his retirement ceremony

He should have punched them in the nose the minute the carpet baggers laid hands on him.

Hard to believe they would do this, but of course this was under Obama.

I recall that scene. It was both disturbing and very confusing. Not sure why he waited till now. Maybe waiting for Obama (and most of his peeps) to leave the White House.

“Did you ever think you would ever see the day where “God” is offensive?”

God was booed three times at the Charlotte DNC convention in 2012.

Read post 2, Jenny.

Then try to familiarize yourself with

OBAMA ADMINISTRATION and the US MILITARY.
