I found this story to be amazing.

An organization whose entire goal is to honor fallen soldiers and their mothers refuses the application of one mother!

Yes, her son, a U.S. citizen, died for this country. Yes, she filled out the application correctly. But she is not a U.S. citizen so lock the doors, her son's death doesn't count.

Quote from the current president:
"We can't go changing the rules every time we turn around," said Herd, the national president. "When we have problems within our organization with people not abiding by the rules, we just get it straightened out, we don't change the rules."

I love how she seems to see these efforts as part of some hip, fun, politically correct fad that will fade away back to the good old values of fearing/hating those from other countries.

Oyvey. What a way to start the day. . .
