SUBJ: Your attack on Wreaths Across America
Date: 9 JAN 2022
I am a Jew. I am a soldier. I am a woman. I am the granddaughter, daughter, stepdaughter, and mother of soldiers—combat veterans all, going back to our Revolutionary War.
I will be buried in a veterans cemetery, and I will be buried under a Star of David. And my soul will be honored and moved if some Christian places a wreath on my grave at Christmastime. A wreath is hardly a Christian symbol—only a seasonal decoration adopted from ancient pagan customs. It’s nice.
For your part, you are “for” religious freedom like Antifa is “antifascist.” You are anti-religion, anti-anyone’s religion other than yours of atheism and authoritarianism. You are intolerant of any Jew’s or Christian’s free and public exercise of his or her religion.
I’ve read many of your responses to those who have written you on your website about your attack on WAA. You insult, demean and ridicule their deeply held religious beliefs and patriotism, and you deflect from the real issue. Shame on you, and shame especially on the chaplains you have recruited to savage these good people who only wish to show gratitude to those who served with this generous, innocuous symbol of good will.
Our country has very serious issues you could address, including the suppression of public Christian expression, the suppression of free speech, the suppression of other freedoms guaranteed by our Constitution, and the accretion of unconstitutional power by government to the detriment of individual liberty.
Please, do something worthy with your influence and money.
