Quick note - I've noticed that they spend more time on Religions issues than family/child issues.

Lawmakers try to get the VA to reconsider, and reinstate the flag-folding ceremony

A group of congressmen has asked the Department of Veterans Affairs to reconsider its ban on the flag-folding ceremony at military funerals after the agency decided last month to streamline burials at federal cemeteries.

"The flag folding recitation is a longstanding tradition which brings comfort to the living and honor to the deceased," Rep. Heath Shuler, D-N.C., writes in his letter Tuesday signed by 11 other congressmen. "The recitations accompanying each fold pay tribute to the service and sacrifice of our veterans and their families, the nation they proudly serve, and the beliefs that they hold dear."

I just gave in to the Dark Side, and joined Facebook.

Browsing groups, I noticed a huge number of evangelical Christian ones, which got me wondering :

Anyone know if there are any Dominionist ones? It's hard to get info on them without joining up.

Thanks ...
