Military Protocols for Funerals Changed by Order of the White House-Fiction!

This is a forwarded email with an account of the events at a Pittsburgh cemetery during the funeral of a combat veteran who served in the U.S. Army during the Korean war. The email says that when the flag was folded and presented to surviving family members by a U.S. serviceman there was an omission of the mention of thanks from the “President of the United States,” which is normal protocol. In lieu of that the Secretary of Defense was substituted. After the ceremony the presenting serviceman was approached by the author of the email and asked about the change in protocol. The serviceman’s response was “The White House notified all military funeral service detachments to immediately remove ‘the President’ and insert ‘the Secretary of Defense.”
