As the ...GOOD NEWS DURING INDEPENDENCE DAY HOLIDAY<br /><br />As the Fourth of July Holiday is celebrated, I am pleased to inform the readers of CHUCK WILDER'S TALK BACK SHOW BLOG that the 9th Circuit Court of Appeal has issued an order granting the request to file additional letter-brief of The American Legion Department of California in the Mount Soledad National Veterans Memorial Cross Case (Trunk, et al., vs. City of San Diego, et al.) The order was filed Friday, July 2, 2010.<br /> <br />The additional friend-of-the-court brief, submitted by the Defense of Veterans Memorials Project of The American Legion Department of California and the Alliance Defense Fund, of which I am an attorney and director for the Legion, addresses the issue of the proper application of the victory of veterans and the defeat of the ACLU in the decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in the Mojave Desert Veterans Memorial Cross Case (Salazar vs. Buono), to the Mt. Soledad National Veterans Memorial Cross Case.<br /> <br />In brief, we believe the holding of the Supreme Court in the Mojave Desert Case, i.e., overturning lower court orders to destroy the cross honoring veterans there, and the Supreme Court’s observations rejecting the ACLU’s secular extremist position finding "offensive" the inclusion of a cross to honor veterans at a veterans memorial, should be followed in the Mt. Soledad Case, which is now in its twenty-first year of litigation backed by the ACLU, which has become the Taliban of American liberal secularism.<br /> <br />The Mojave Desert Case, decided April 28, 2010, was remanded by the Supreme Court to the U.S. District Court in Riverside, CA, for further proceedings in light of the Supreme Court's ruling. The Ninth Circuit, which has had the Mt. Soledad case under submission since it heard oral argument several months ago, may rule at any time. The decisions in the Mojave Desert and Mt. Soledad Veterans Memorials Cases, and each of them, will be precedent-setting landmarks with nationwide impact on how Americans may honor their war dead and other veterans.<br /> <br />Allow me to share also with Chuck Wilder's readers some especially pertinent and moving information available during this 4th of July holiday period:<br /> <br />First, on the Declaration of Independence, you might want to avail yourself, and your children or grandchildren – who won’t get it in their politically-correct, liberal-dominated, cultural relativist public schools -- of the useful and comprehensive information on USHistory.org (www.ushistory.org/DECLARATION/).<br /> <br />Also, there is available now a very moving recent tribute to veterans entitled “I Fought For You.” (http://www.sermonspice.com/product/32960/i-fought-for-you)<br /> <br />And, we have available the moving words and call to action of Gold Star Mother Debbie Lee on www.MoveAmericaForward.org, remembering her fallen son, Navy Seal Marc Alan Lee, and all those who have served and are serving in the war against terrorism (http://www.moveamericaforward.org/post.php?id=70 ).<br /> <br />Finally, it should be remembered, on every Independence Day -- and every other day -- that it is American veterans, those who served when our country called them to arms to defend freedom, who have paid the price for freedom, all giving some, some giving all: Over 1,500,000 Americans have given their lives for American freedom in all the wars -- including those Americans serving today, who are suffering terrible wounds, and dying, for our freedom.<br /> <br />May God bless and keep each one of them. And may God continue to bless the United States of America, the greatest, because the most free, nation in the history of the world.<br /> <br />[Rees Lloyd is a longtime civil rights attorney and veterans affairs activist, who writes for NewsWithViews.com and who is a frequent commentator on the Original Talk Back Show With Chuck Wilder.REES LLOYDnoreply@blogger.com
