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.
