Wiccan War Widows Win Their Sacred Burial Markershttp://www.womensenews.org/article.cfm/d....
"Wiccan war widows have prevailed in a 10-year struggle to have the VA accept their religion's pentacle as a headstone symbol in U.S. military cemeteries..."
.
"The settlement agreement ends a lawsuit filed in November that charged that denying the pentacle grave marker was unconstitutional on grounds of religious freedom. A separate but similar case, filed by the New York-based American Civil Liberties Union, was also resolved by the settlement.
.
"This settlement has forced the Bush administration into acknowledging that there are no second-class religions in America, including among our nation's veterans," said the Rev. Barry W. Lynn, executive director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State. "It is a proud day for religious freedom in the United States."
