To me that would be a simple thing... If the Je_wish members are required to remove their hats (Yarmulkes) then the Arabs or Indians should be required to remove theirs also. While I completely understand your stance towards vets (I am one) I also understand that certain religions require their followers to wear their hats while in public......and, to my way of thinking, since we have fought several wars based on religious freedoms I think that religion trumps respect for vets. It is possible to respect and pay homage to a vet and still wear a hat.
Having said that, I still find it completely asinine for any religious group to actually think that God really cares if they wear a hat or not. I mean, come on folks. I think that God is far more concerned with how we live our lives and how we treat other people... You know, that brotherly love thing... but wearing a hat???? <laughing> give me a break!!

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God) 
Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
