Vietnam War Veteran's Body Displayed At Wake Without Coffin

People are outraged over photos on social media of a Vietnam War veteran displayed at his wake on a gurney covered in an American flag.

No coffin was available for the visitation held at Heritage Funeral Home in Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia, WTVC reports.

“At first we were okay with it,” said a family member, “but like I told the guy, I said this was very disrespectful to my dad.”

Taylor’s family said the funeral home refused to put George Taylor in a casket because of problems with his life insurance payment.

Taylor’s son, James, said the family was given little notice of the problem prior to the visitation.

“They came to me and told me that unless $9,000 was paid, they couldn’t put him into the ground,” he told ABC 7 New York.

“Mr. Taylor was a two-term Vietnam Vet,” wrote Ella Moss on Facebook. “We live in the Greatest Country in the world, and this is the best we can do for our soldiers. Not even a pillow for his head.”

Funeral home representative David Cummings said they did what the family asked.

“We were trying to honor the request and let them have some closure by viewing their loved one.”

Thomas Massie Is BLOWING THE WHISTLE On The Establishment

Congressman Thomas Massie Is BLOWING THE WHISTLE on the Establishment. They are funding Ad’s against Conservatives who oppose ObamaCare 2.0 (RINO-CARE).

DRAIN THE SWAMP!

Trump’s balls are contagious!

Thomas Massie Is BLOWING THE WHISTLE On The EstablishmentWant to know how the swamp works? According to the Washington Post, American Action Network (AAN) is running ads against conservatives who haven’t agreed to vote for Obamacare 2.0. AAN is associated with Boehner, Cantor, current members of GOP leadership, and DC lobbyists. But who has regularly donated to AAN? Pharmaceutical Manufacturers.

If you think Obamacare 2.0 is going to lower drug costs, guess again. Here are the links where you can verify these and other facts.

I’m blowing the whistle at my own peril but it’s time to #draintheswamp. Please share if you agree.

The VA Health System is a tragic warning against Government-Run Health Care!


 

 

Just One More Thing On Entitlements

Just one more thing on Entitlements.

We should stop calling them all “Entitlements”.

Welfare, Food Stamps, WIC… ad nauseum are not entitlements. They are taxpayer-funded handouts, and shouldn’t be called entitlements at all.

Social Security and Veterans Benefits are Entitlements because the people receiving them are entitled to them. They were earned and paid for by the recipients.

Chosin: Baptized by Fire!

Veterans Expeditionary Media and HOPR studios have created a chilling short film to convey the horror of the Battle of the Chosin Reservoir through the eyes of a young Marine during the Korean War.




True story from the Korean War! Baptized by Fire is a short animated film adapted from the graphic novel Hold the Line, and inspired by the true story of Fox Company, 2nd Battalion, 7th Marines. While delivering mail to the grunts of Fox Company, Private First Class Billy French is trapped in a massive surprise attack launched by the Communist Chinese Army. French must prove his mettle when the company’s position is overrun by hordes of enemy troops.

About the Chosin Reservoir Campaign: In the winter of 1950, deep within the frozen mountains of North Korea, 15,000 U.S. Soldiers and Marines were surrounded and trapped by 120,000 Chinese soldiers. Despite the odds, the Marines refused to surrender and fought their way 78 miles to the sea and rescued 98,000 refugees. This tale of sacrifice and courage that contends with the story of the 300 Spartans at Thermopylae as one of the most heroic feats in history.

Produced in partnership with Veterans Expeditionary Media and Hopr Studios.
