Title: VA Being Sneaky Again
Post by: Ross on August 30, 2016, 04:45:04 PM

So the Va is being sneaky again !
Shouldn't the VA be busy taking care of Veterans and get out of politics.
How many veterans lost their lives because of the agency's sneakiness!
My note !

The Department of Veterans' Affairs quietly moved to ban confederate flags from flying on free-standing flagpoles at its national cemeteries after a House vote earlier this year to restrict the confederate flag in national cemeteries.

The VA wrote in a letter to Rep. Jared Huffman (D-CA), the sponsor of the House amendment, that the VA will make sure that "Confederate flags will not be displayed from any permanently fixed flagpole in a national cemetery at any time."

The VA conducted a year-long review of its policies regarding the flag's display and came to the conclusion that they would change them in accordance with Huffman's House amendment that passed in May.

The Confederate Flag is an international symbal against tyranny.  We've seen how Obama and the Republicans operate.  Tyrants.
