MSNBC: "The Most"
Hosted by Alison Stewart
3:00 PM Eastern time

• Sgt. Patrick Stewart was shot down fighting the war on terror, Sepember 2005, in Afghanistan. Stewart was also a Gulf War veteran who re-enlisted after 9/11.
• VA keeps application in limbo, repeatedly changes application procedure for religious emblem, tormenting the widow of our war dead.
• Interview with his widow and family minister, Rev. Selena Fox, senior minister of Circle Sanctuary.
• MSNBC poll: 9,155 responses, 86% feel the VA should recognize the Wiccan symbol: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12979013/

Selena Fox, Senior Minister of Circle Sanctuary: “I am outraged that the Veterans' Administration is not doing right by appropriately recognizing the dead. Recent news reports raise questions as to whether the VA is doing right by the living. The VA must approve Sgt. Stewart's religious emblem today, the day originally observed as Memorial Day for over 100 years.”
