'God Bless America' gets veteran in hot water with employer
STOCKTON, Calif. (KCRA) —A Dameron Hospital employee who is also a veteran said he was asked last week to remove his email signature that read, in part, "God Bless America."
Meet Boots Hawks, a man employed by Dameron Hospital in Stockton. Hawks said he was placed on administrative leave after a discussion about his email signature.
Boots Hawks served the United States for 20 years in the Army, he said Thursday, adding that he has been a good employee at Dameron Hospital for 10 years.
But when Hawks wanted to seek legal counsel about a request to remove the words "God Bless America" from his professional email signature, he was met with resistance, he said.
Still, Hawks said he complied.
"I removed the signature before I sent another email," Hawks told KCRA 3.
But on the Friday before Veterans Day, he said he was placed on administrative leave for insubordination -- all because of the signature, which had contained the "God Bless America" phrase for more than a year before the hospital brought up the issue.
"I was shocked," Hawks said. “I think Dameron Hospital provides fantastic care to people. And I hate to see bad publicity, and I don’t mean for this to be bad publicity. I just see that we need to have justice done.”
God forbid that anyone show any patriotism or mention anything relating to religion - except for muzzies.

Muhammad is a murderous genocidal child-raping demon.
There's a good signature. I gotta remember this for when it is time for me to Go Galt...which I feel is coming sooner than I would prefer...
