Students, parents upset that Christmas cards won't go to local veterans due to policy
Calvert Collins myfoxdfw.com ... dozens of Prosper students didn't get to deliver the Christmas cards they made for local veterans because of a VA policy against specific religious cards and phrasing. The cards are still in North Texas, and the writers are disappointed their thank you's won't be seen by the people they were intended for. "I'm hoping that it might make their day because their family might live far away, and they might not have somebody to celebrate Christmas with and I'd like them to know they've not been forgotten and somebody wanted to say thank you," said fourth grader Gracie Brown. Gracie and her brother, Luke, put a lot of thought and effort into their Christmas cards. "It includes ‘Merry Christmas,' and when you open it up, it says 'Thank you for your service' and the American flag," said Luke. Fifty-two students at Grace Academy in Prosper spent Friday making the cards they planned to hand deliver to bedridden veterans at the VA hospital in Dallas Monday morning. When Gracie and Luke's mom
, Andrea, found out they wouldn't be able to, she was outraged.
"This wasn't the country I grew up in, when you couldn't say ‘Merry Christmas,' you couldn't say ‘God bless you' or reference any scripture," she said.
