FOX NEWS COVERS MRFF'S EFFORT
TO STOP "WREATHS ACROSS AMERICA"
FROM DEFILING JEWISH AND OTHER
NON-CHRISTIAN VETERANS' GRAVES
Fox News copiously quotes both MRFF Founder and President Mikey Weinstein and MRFF Senior Research Director Chris Rodda
in a surprisingly objective article about MRFF’s effort to keep
the so-called "non-profit" Wreaths Across America from Christianizing the graves of Jewish and other non-Christian
veterans by placing unwanted Christmas wreaths on them.

Fox News quotes both MRFF Founder and President Mikey Weinstein and MRFF Senior Research Director Chris Rodda in a surprisingly objective article about MRFF’s effort to keep Wreaths Across America from placing unwanted Christmas wreaths on the graves of Jewish and other non-Christian veterans.
From the article:

"We have no problem if people reach out and want a wreath on their deceased veterans’ graves, but to put them everywhere, to blanket them without permission of the surviving families is unconstitutional, an atrocity and a disgrace," MRFF Founder Mikey Weinstein said, according to the Gazette.
MRFF Senior Research Director Chris Rodda described the tradition of wreath-laying as the "desecration of non-Christians veterans' graves" in a November opinion piece.
"The gravesites of Christians and non-Christians alike will be adorned with this hijacked-from-paganism symbol of Christianity — circular and made of evergreen to symbolize everlasting life through Jesus Christ — whether the families of the deceased veterans like it or not," Rodda wrote.
Rodda also claimed that Wreaths Across America "enlists the help of volunteers across the country to lay a wreath on every veteran’s grave, forcing the non-Christian dead who didn’t celebrate Christmas in life to celebrate it in death."

The far-right Free Press takes umbrage with MRFF’s effort to keep Wreaths Across America from defiling the graves of Jewish and other non-Christian veterans, writing, among other things, that MRFF’s effort is sadder than Charlie Brown’s pathetic Christmas tree.

“Donations”
This organization is a complete joke and proves to be the very definition of frivolous lawsuits. America was founded on Christian principles READ the Constitution as it is written. Don’t put your own personal views just read the damn words. If you feel so persecuted please feel free to move to another country that suits your needs.

“Wreaths on veterans grave”
“Mikey”,
You and your band of merry goofballs need to grow up. You don’t get everything you want in life.
The people laying the wreaths make mistakes. They are volunteers. Get over it.You are showing the hatred you have for Christians.
RIP ALL veterans no matter what denomination.

“Wreaths Across America”
You clowns do understand that wreaths on graves has to do with the circle of life and the remembrance and honor of those who fought in wars? But then what else would oneexpect of such a janky of an organization that thinks the American flag is a symbol of a religion? Little cultish? Per Collins Dictionary: A wreath is an arrangement of flowers and leaves, usually in the shape of a circle, which you put on a grave or by a statue to show that you remember a person who has died or people who have died. This dates back to Greek and Roman times. I bet you think all OK signs are gang signs too! I am blessed that they have placed a wreath on my father’s grave every year and honor his service.Sorry you aren’t. Funny how the groups that sound the patriotism banner are pretty damn un-American. Time for someone’s nonprofit status to be revoked.

“Donations”
Regarding your website’s request for donations:
Fuck you for making a living by selling hate.

“Make a list. Check it twice”
Mikey,
You should ask the families that are offended by wreaths to write letters asking that their family not be included. Then, list in hand, you can go pluck them off the graves
God bless you Mikey.

“Is George Soros your leader?”
So your organization finds it atrocious and unconstitutional to put a wreath on a vets grave (without permission)? You folks are whacko… I’m a veteran and with your thoughts, I don’t want anything to do with you. You’re disgraceful. Is George Soros your leader?

“Hey Asshole…”
You’re too fucking stupid to live on the same planet with people of faith. I’m looking forward the day that I can put a wreath on your grave…then, piss on it!
Morons like you, Mikey (what kind of faggot nickname is that), ought to be put in a hall of shame.
Very disrespectfully,
Concerned Citizen

“Mickey Weinstein-Military Religious
Freedom Foundation- Wreaths on Graves”
Mickey,
Are you some kind of an Idiot?
“We have no problem if people reach out and want a wreath on their deceased veterans’ graves, but to put them everywhere, to blanket them without permission of the surviving families is unconstitutional, an atrocity and a disgrace,” MRFF Founder Mikey Weinstein said, according to the Gazette.
With all the challenges going on in America, and the world, the Foundations of America being shaken with this WOKE & CANCEL Culture, please keep your Atheism to yourself.
America was founded on Judeo/Christian Values and Principles. It has keeps us for close to 250 Years as a Nation through Trials & Wars. Many believe that because we have honored GOD, we are still here as a Nation, while Nazis are no more, etc.
If you don’t like America or our Judeo/Christian Principles in our Constitution, I am sure there is a place for you in Communist China, so move there,

“You”
Fuck you! If one is not Christian, then the wreath is just like any other flowers or display left at a gravesite. If you are Christian, it means more. Mind your own business.

“I Want to Thank You”
Dear Sir:
My father was not very religious and didn’t care much for going to church or practicing any particular religion. Thank you for reminding me how great my dad was and how much he loved this country. He also loved the Wreaths being placed on the graves of his fallen brothers which many of them were of different religious backgrounds. Actually they all loved it. A wreath is a sign of love and respect and is an eternal never ending ring which connects as all as one. Wreaths are a universal message of hope not just Christian. Christmas is not just a Christian celebration. It is a universal celebration of family and the gift of life. All of my Jewish and non-Christian friends and family celebrate Christmas for joy and peace on earth and not for the birth of Christ.
How many of our fallen hero’s never have anything placed on their grave or a volunteer say their name out load? Does your organization go and stand at each grave at Arlington and other cemeteries and say their name out loud and place something on each grave?
My mom and dad are buried at Arlington and I guarantee they lived a much happier life than most of the individuals in the articles I read on your site. I am deeply grateful for those that put wreaths on my parents grave and say their name out loud to celebrate peace, love, and gratitude.
Hate gets us no where only pain. Good luck to you as you find your true self and your true meaning in this life.
I am also deeply grateful to your organization to motivate me to do my part by going and laying wreaths and giving thanks to those that served our great nation.
Sincerely,
(name withheld)
