Disabled vet tossed from skydiving center

Visit our News page Early bird registration good for 7 more days April 8, 2013 Muslims complain; disabled vet tossed from skydiving center A veteran disabled in Afghanistan is ejected from a skydiving center. Why? Because some soldiers from Qatar complain about his “infidel” tattoo. Another blow for sharia. Another blow against free speech. See the Atlas Shrugs post below.

Check this out and politely contact the Florida Skydiving Center: (863) 678-1003 and Facebook here. UPDATE: their page appears to be down -- here is their website, email addy: LakeWalesSkydiving@gmail.com I called -- the mailbox is full -- but keep trying. They have to do business, so they will have to answer the phone. Just call and write. Do it. "Disabled Purple Heart veteran, embarassed at local business" Adventures of a broken soldier (thanks to Ken) I am a disabled combat veteran. I served in Iraq and worked in Afghanistan. I took an IED because my country asked me too, and I was injured by a suicide bomber in Afghanistan. I have a Purple Heart and an ARCOM with Valor. I fully expect to be treated differently when I am visiting another country - when I am in America I expect equality and toleration; but what I experienced today is something that I never would have thought I'd have to go through in my own country. The country I fought for! I am a skydiver with around 300 jumps under my belt. I've done jumps from 30,000 feet, helicopters, hot air balloons, wingsuit skydives and so forth. So with that being said I travel around doing this sport quite a bit. Today was my second time at a dropzone called "Florida Skydiving Center / Skydive Lake Wales". Coincidentally there are soldiers from the country of Qatar being trained there. The picture is of the tattoo I have. Here is the definition of said tattoo: "Kafir is an Arabic term used in an Islamic doctrinal sense, usually translated as "unbeliever," "disbeliever," or "infidel." The term refers to a person who rejects God or who hides, denies, or covers the "truth." The Muslim's from Qatar saw that tattoo and complained to the dropzone. Once they did so I was called to the back office and asked to cover it up by the OWNER. Not that I would, but its 80 something degrees here today, and that would be an unreasonable request. After I told her that I had no pants to cover it up she told me that she has DUCT TAPE that I can use to cover it. I told the lady that I was not going to cover it up, as it was nothing more than a tattoo saying "I am not a Muslim". After beating around the bush for a few minutes entertaining me while I was trying to convince her otherwise, she asked me to leave. What kind of America do we live in where someone comes back from war; disabled and decorated... while serving overseas was called an "infidel" for over 2 years, and then get asked to leave an establishment because of a tattoo I have that says just that, because of a culture of people visiting our country, and an American Business with no ethical sense or a backbone for that matter. I am honestly offended and embarassed by how I was treated at skydive lake wales. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACT for America P.O.
