A recent proclamation has been made for June 14th.
These proclamation are often made by Presidents but I had a funny thought, and I know this is old news but if Obama wins the Presidency, do you think he'll follow this or amend it?
And When will Google start showing some patriotism
...another new twist on old stories.
Army wants to see officer cleared of charges back at workA congressman on Monday protested the return to duty of an Army officer who was cleared more than two years ago of killing two Iraqi civilians, saying he deserves more from the military that falsely accused him.
U.S. Rep. Steven LaTourette, R-Ohio, wrote a letter to Defense Secretary Robert Gates to ask that 1st Lt. Erick Anderson's return-to-duty order be reconsidered."It is unconscionable that after all Anderson has been through — at the hands of the Army no less — that the Army thinks he should give it another go as if all is fine and all is forgiven," LaTourette wrote. "This young man lost almost two years of his life defending himself against scurrilous and false murder charges."

The officer must report to Fort Benning in Georgia on Aug. 3 and could be sent back to Iraq. Puckett said he will offer medical evidence that Anderson suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder and should not serve again.Anderson was a platoon leader in an infantry regiment in August 2004. Four men in the 36-member platoon were convicted of murdering unarmed Iraqis during operations near Sadr City.
On Dec. 5, 2005, the Army dropped murder charges against Anderson, who was accused of giving soldiers in his platoon permission to kill two Iraqi civilians. Anderson could have gotten life in prison if convicted.
