Sorry, this is not true....it is a hoax.

What’s true is:
"The ACLU and the Americans United for Separation of Church and State filed a suit to convince the Department of Veterans Affairs to agree to allow family members to choose from 38 different religious symbols for headstones to represent the variety of faiths practiced in the US."in other words they fought for a broader policy, not a more restrictive one.

Besides the ‘dishonesty in this email notice the instructions: ‘There is nothing attached. Just send this to people in your address book.’ Well this too is a lie because I counted over 75 addresses contained in the ‘To:’ and ‘Cc:’ sections each occurrence of Forwarding. 75 addresses that I could hijack as well as anyone receiving this chain e-mail. 75 addresses that the originator and any other spammers could hijack as well.

Did you know that the ACLU has filed a suit to have all military cross-shaped headstones removed and another suit to end prayer from the military completely..
They're making great progress. The Navy Chaplains can no longer mention Jesus' name in prayer thanks to the ACLU.
I'm not breaking this one.
If I get it a 1000 times, I'll forward it a 1000 times!
Let us pray...
Prayer chain for our Military... Don't break it!
Please send this on after a short prayer. Prayer for our soldiers Don't break it!
Prayer:
'Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands Protect them as they protect us Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. Amen.'
Prayer Request: When you receive this, please stop for a moment and say a prayer for our troops around the world.
There is nothing attached. Just send this to people in your address book.
Do not let it stop with you. Of all the gifts you could give a Marine, Soldier, Sailor, Airman, & others deployed in harm's way, prayer is the very best one.
GOD BLESS YOU FOR PASSING IT ON!
