No pentacle on veteran headstones?

Apparently the government doesn't allow Wiccan soldiers to have pentacles put on their headstones. " You witches can be a part of our killing machine but don't expect respect for your religion." Typical. My father died as a result of cancer brought on by Agent Orange during the Vietnam war. They knew the effects of the poison they were spraying on their own troops then, they did it anyway. The government was so cheap they would not fix the mispelling of my name in his military tombstone. It is simply disgusting for a government to treat its troops this way.

The article talks about a soldier awarded the bronze star and the purple heart. His wife is suing to have the pentacle included in the choices for headstones and for the ability to put a pentacle on the veterans wall. She was denied permission to do so initially. I for one will be sending her some good juju.
And they say we are the heathens.

I saw this revolting story in the news myself. I didn't think much could top it, until I saw that OJ Simpson is releasing a book called, "If I Did It, Here's How it Happened." I think that is the creepiest thing I've ever heard.

I'm afraid to see what will astound me next!

Hope you noticed we won a few days ago and the VA now accepts Pentacles on gravestones. :)
