Flag Folding Flap

The Department of Veterans Affairs has issued a clarification of its policy concerning flag-folding ceremonies that occur at military funerals. Words recited as the flag is folded have contained religious references, one of which prompted a recent complaint to the White House, Fox News reported. Now, the controversy over that complaint has led to the clarification.
