Graveyard prayers at national cemeteries unwelcome?

A Final Resting Place for Veterans, and a New Battleground Over Prayer Obama administration-backed officials at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and the Houston National Cemetery are continuing to deny the use of Christian words or phrases at veterans’ funerals. Liberty Institute The plaintiffs, aided by a conservative legal group, the Liberty Institute, contend they should be allowed to use a Veterans of Foreign Wars script dating from World War I that refers to the deceased as “a brave man” with an “abiding faith in God” and that seeks comfort from an “almighty and merciful God.” The institute has broadcast the dispute nationwide with slick videos and a Web site declaring that “Jesus is not welcome at gravesides.”
