Quote:The Air Force Reserve said in the statement it "respects and defends the right to free speech and religious expression."


It does state that the reserve had to issue this statement and that the principles couldn't be reached for comment. Its not a contradiction, they're at the beginning of the coverage.

Quote:A source who was present at the event told the military blog that Rodriguez was there at the request of the retiree, but had been banned from the base by the squadron commander.

A spokesman from the reserve said that the confrontation stemmed from "an unplanned participation" at the event.

"Rodriguez ignored numerous requests to respect the Air Force prescribed ceremony and unfortunately was forcibly removed," a Travis official said in a statement to FoxNews.com. "We will continue to investigate the situation fully."
