Vietnam veteran Patrick Cubbage was fired from his job as an honor guard at a New Jersey veterans cemetery for saying "God bless you and this family" at a burial service when he handed the folded U.S. flag to the widow. Two fellow honor guards had earlier complained about Cubbage's use of the blessing, and Ivan Dumas, the honor guard coordinator, ordered Cubbage to stop saying it in the future because it might offend Muslims or Jews. Dumas then handed Cubbage a copy of state regulations that prohibit "harassment or hostile environments" at work.
