When Whitney Houston is buried Saturday during a funeral ceremony in New Jersey, flags across the state, by order of the governor, will be lowered to half-staff. It’s an honor the mother of a Marine, killed in an Afghan bombing attack, thinks the entertainer does not deserve.
Phyllis McGeath said she doesn’t have any hard feelings against Houston, but feels strongly that Houston should not be given the same honor that was shown to her son Philip, 25, who was killed earlier this year in a suicide bombing attack in Afghanistan.
Though McGeath is a fan of Houston’s music, she said Houston’s death should not be put on the same level as that of a servicemember who is killed in combat.
According to CBSlocal.com, McGeath was “hurt and offended. Disappointed. Saddened,” when she heard of N.J. Governor Chris Christie’s decision to fly flags at half-staff on Saturday.
