I belong to an Honor Guard that is made up of Legion and VFW members. We are all volunteers and do many funerals. We are available upon the request of the family involved. I've been doing it for at least ten years and have never ever heard of anything even remotely like this. The families of the departed vet are so gratefull to us thats it's almost embarrasing sometimes. We don't do it for praise but as one last honor to a fallen brother. I consider in an honor to be asked to do it. To have somebody complain about a blessing at a funeral is almost incomphrehenible to me. Those responsible for Mr. Cubbage's firing should be ashamed.
