    Watchdog urges VA to clean the headstones with the swastika with national military cemetery

    by TwoforTwo » Sun Dec 13, 2020 6:37 pm

    Along with the names of soldiers, dates of birth and death, the tombstones are engraved with a swastika in the center of the Iron cross — a reward for valor — and the phrase: "He died far from home for the Fuhrer, the people and the Fatherland."Fuhrer" - that's what Hitler called himself.

    Mikey Weinstein, Chairman of the military religious freedom Foundation (MRFF), was warned about the tombstones by a former senior officer in the active-duty US army. He shared photos of tombstones with the salon.

    Weinstein, who is Jewish, wrote to veterans Affairs Secretary Robert Wilkie, demanding that the Department "immediately replace the headstones of all German service members buried in VA national cemeteries" and ensure that no Nazi-era symbols remain in American military cemeteries.

    It is very sad that this happened to your brother and I sympathize with you. But everything that happens in the world will sooner or later happen anyway. But in order to beg with him in parts, you must, of course, choose a good place in the graveyard and, of course, preferably a good gravestone. It must be ordered in advance and so that it will last for centuries. And this can only be done on the flat headstones website where professionals make the highest quality tombstones that will last for centuries. The name on this overhomous stone will hold on like the stone itself for a very long time and more than one rain and hail will not erase it!
