Religious Liberty Group Defends Veterans Memorial Against ‘Bully’ Trying to Remove Bible From Display
A Bible at the center of a dispute between two military organizations will now be displayed prominently at a veterans hospital.
The Bible was donated to Manchester VA Medical Center by former U.S. Army Air Corps Technical Sergeant (TSgt) Herman “Herk” Streitburger, of Bedford, who was held captive in a German Prisoner of War camp during World War II.
It was placed in a memorial but moved after objections by Mikey Weinstein, the founder of Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF). The Bible ended up behind a glass display case.
First Liberty Institute, the same law firm that argued on behalf of the Bladensburg “Peace Cross” memorial in front of the Supreme Court last week, sent a letter Wednesday supporting the Bible.
“As usual Mikey Weinstein is wrong on the fact and wrong on the law but that’s never stopped him from bullying military and VA officials and their facilities across the country,” Mike Berry, the First Liberty lawyer representing the Northeast POW/MIA Network, told Fox News. “If he wants to remove that display or any part of it he’s going to have to come through us.” (Read more from “Religious Liberty Group Defends Veterans Memorial Against ‘Bully’ Trying to Remove Bible From Display” HERE)
