Quote:You don't think it's important to make sure that you honor the correct faith of those that fought for our freedom?   By just assuming they are all Christian is doing those Jewish AND Muslim veterans that gave the ultimate sacrifice to our nation a HUGE disservice.  

 

 

If you ever visit Arlington National Cemetery, as many are doing on this Memorial Day, you may notice that every now and then, a crescent pops up among the field of crosses. Few Americans are aware that many American Muslims have fought and died in the US Armed Forces, including in Iraq. When you wander the cemetery grounds that overlook Washington, DC, you’ll notice the grave of Army Captain Humayun Khan, who lured a suicide car bomb away from the men in his charge, saving their lives but giving up his own.
