Veteran lives matter!
Wreaths Across America, the group responsible for placing wreaths on 230,000 headstones at Arlington National Cemetery, said Wednesday that 30,000 graves may have to forego the commemorative garland due to a lack of funding.We 100's of thousands of Vet who are forced to sleep on the streets and can go months before they are "permitted" to talk to a doctor and now we learn those who have died serving our country are worthy of a $15 Christmas wreath. But there is money to house and feed millions of illegals and Obama says we have to more for Syrians and we will bring more under out wings. To top it off Obama and over 360 staffers, friends and family members are preparing to party down in Paris where Obama has promised to use his executive to devote as much money as needed to fight climate change which is estimated to be in the trillions...all on bogus data compiled to redistribute our country's wealth to those Obama feels are more deserving. But we can't afford $15 wreaths who gave their lives.
The project is needs $3.45 million to fund the $15 wreaths on each Arlington tombstone. As of Wednesday night, Wreaths Across America was $450,000 short.
Since 1992, the organization has worked to mark the graves of 700,000 veterans buried in 900 locations around the country. Its project at Arlington is by far the highest volume initiative, requiring more than 100 volunteers to assist in laying the wreaths on Saturday, Dec. 12. A WAA spokesman said a request for funding assistance from the VA was denied with no explanation.
