Latest News on Pentacle for Veterans Quest

The front page of today's Sparks Tribune newspaper includes a follow-up report on the quest to have the Pentacle added to the VA's list of emblems of belief that can be included on headstones, markers, and plaques for deceased veterans.

The article features an interview with Roberta Stewart along with a photo of her at the place on the Nevada Veterans Memorial where her late husband's plaque will go once the VA has approved the Pentacle and manufactured the plaque.

This article also includes some comments by Selena Fox of Circle Sanctuary. Last week, Selena traveled to the headquarters of the US Department of Veterans Affairs in Washington, DC and met with several VA officials involved in the approval process for emblems of belief. The meeting was held in the meeting room of the Under Secretary for Memorial Affairs of the National Cemetery Administration. Yesterday, in a follow-up phone conversation with the Senior Advisor to the Under Secretary for Memorial Affairs, Selena learned that officials are actively considering adding the Pentacle to the NCA list of emblems of beliefs and a decision is expected soon.
