Excerpt...it was the U.S. government that would not allow Wiccans to
have a pentacle put on their grave stones.....took 10 years and a
lawsuit...
IOWA COUNTY, Wis. -- In Iowa County, a small resting place for U.S.
soldiers has taken on national significance following a first-of-its-
kind Memorial Day dedication.
In April,2007, local members of the Wiccan religion won a decade-long
fight to get their symbol, the pentacle, included on veteran grave
markers with many other religious symbols, WISC-TV reported.
Circle Sanctuary, a Wiccan group based in Barneveld, sued the U.S.
Department of Veterans Affairs to add the pentacle to the list in
2005, and won that battle just a month ago.
