I am a pastor for the family of a deceased WWII Veteran who served honorably and wished to be buried in a national cemetery. The Ft. Bliss Cemetery authorities were difficult to work with. From the phone conversations to the actual committal service our veteran's family were treated rudely. All the family and I followed ALL rules and reg. meticulously. Yet the "official" in charge policed and intimidated all of us. The honors ceremony started late. Therefore I cut my religious rites to about 5 minutes. We recited a prayer together and then the "official" stepped in and told us "the service is over" and indicated we must leave. This was done 5 minutes before the time limit we had been given. All of us complied and your "official" left with head held high!! Shame!! NO HONOR FOR VETERANS HERE!
