Religious expression or atrocity?

Just another attempt to slowly degrade the morals of Americans.

Does it matter if he wants to thank God or this Mom and Dad.....no

Belief in God has helped many people progress forward in life. He is neither recommending or not recommending you do as he has done....he is simply sharing what worked for him and putting thanks where he feels it belongs.

People need to understand that it's ok to believe in God and draw strength from that belief.

We all don't have to be atheist .

religion is the single most dividing and derisive thing going in the world today...more people have been killed though out history, in the name of god, then for any other reason. once people understand that our "GOD" is no more powerful or alive then say...Zeus or Horace...the world will be a much better place

The MRFF is wrong here. Regardless of his rank or affiliation no service member should ever be denied the right to freely express their beliefs. At the same time, those without said beliefs should be excused from any and all religious related activities. The 1st Amendment still applies and no laws, not even in the military, can infringe on religous freedom. That was what our country was founded on.
