The story explains “Dayton-area GOP Rep. Michael Turner and more than 100 of his Republican colleagues sent a letter to Pelosi last week after an Eagle Scout in his district asked that a flag flown over the U.S. Capitol be sent to his grandfather with a certificate inscribed with the message: "In honor of my grandfather Marcel Larochelle, and his dedication and love of God, country, and family." The boy and his father contacted Turner's office after noticing the word "God" was left off the certificate included with the flag.” Later: “Pelosi said the architect's policy was adopted because "people were asking for statements that not only were religious, beyond using the word God, but political as well."
