Veteran Pentacle Quest

It took nearly a decade and the combined efforts of many, including Americans United for Separation of Church and State, but at last the Pentacle, symbol of the Wiccan religion, has been added to the US Department of Veterans Affairs list of emblems of belief that can be included on government-issued markers, headstones, and plaques honoring deceased veterans.
