PENTACLE FOR VETERANS QUEST UPDATE

Roberta Stewart is continuing to speak out publicly about the need for the US Department of Veterans Affairs to finish approving the addition of the Pentacle to the National Cemetery Administration's list of emblems of belief that can be on government issued headstones, markers, and plaques for deceased veterans.

Interviews with her on this issue appeared this week in articles in two Nevada newspapers, the Sparks Tribune, and the Reno Gazette Journal.

Roberta will be doing additional interviews this week, including national television news (Fox News Channel).

The Veteran Pentacle page at the Lady Liberty League section of Circle Sanctuary's website has just been updated. It now includes an overview of the history of the quest to get the Pentacle approved, plus links to some of the media coverage thus far:
