The national commander of the American Legion is demanding answers from the Veterans Administration after hospitals in three states placed restrictions on Christian volunteers, including a group of schoolchildren who were told they could only perform Christmas carols from a government-approved list.
"Every Christmas, every religious holiday, Christians are more and more often targeted for censorship and restriction at VA facilities," American Legion National Commander Daniel Dellinger said. "Veterans in these hospitals fought to protect such freedoms."
In Iowa City, American Legion members were told they could not hand out presents to veterans if the wrapping paper said Merry Christmas.
In Augusta, Ga., the VA told a group of students from a Christian school that they could not sing religious-themed Christmas carols. Instead, the students were presented with a list of government-approved, secular songs.
And in Dallas, the VA hospital refused to allow children to distribute Christmas cards to patients because the cards included phrases like "Merry Christmas" and "God Bless You."
The American Legion has asked the VA Central Office for an explanation of why it appears Christians are being singled out for restrictions.
"First of all, VA's decision to prohibit the delivery of Christmas cards that mention Christmas is ludicrous, Dellinger said. "Second of all, VA has been down this road before, and recently. VA has been warned through a federal court decree to stop denying freedom of religious expression at its facilities. Its pretty obvious the Dallas VA did not get that memo."
On Monday morning boys and girls from Grace Academy in Prosper, Tex., were planning on hand delivering the cards to the wounded veterans. Math teacher Susan Chapman called the hospital to make final arrangements and thats when she learned there was a problem.
"I told him my students made cards, we'd like to bring them down for the veterans," Chapman told MyFoxDFW.com. "And he said, 'That's great. We're thrilled to have them, except the only thing is, we can't accept anything that says Merry Christmas' or God bless you' or any scriptural references because of all the red tape.'"
A VA official quoted the policy which is in the Veterans Health Administration handbook:

Each December, misguided government officials and fearful corporate executives eliminate references to Christmas.
Inevitably, people object because the censorship seems so extreme and unnecessary. Amazingly, some deny that this Christmas censorship even exists.
But it does. ESPN recently relented from its initial refusal to broadcast the ad of a St. Louis-area Catholic hospital because it mentioned "the birth of Jesus" and "God's healing message."
As a constitutional attorney with Alliance Defending Freedom, I have personally dealt with situations involving public school officials removing lyrics from Christmas carols or refusing to display student artwork because it contained the Nativity scene.
So when I hear someone deny that Christmas censorship happens, I feel like Neil Armstrong hearing someone claim the moon landings were faked. I was there.
It would be more honest (though wrong) if the deniers responded by claiming that the Establishment Clause requires such censorship, or that cultural sensitivity requires companies to ban "merry Christmas" and to order their employees to say only "happy holidays."
Instead, the deniers argue that Christmas censorship does not exist. Maybe they are confused by the vast array of Christmas decorations and music surrounding us each December.
A store festooned in red ribbons and playing "Jingle Bells" frequently eliminates the religious aspects of Christmas while leaving alone the holiday's less offensive secular aspects.
But people object to this suppression of the core meaning of Christmas that celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ as the Savior from our sins.
