Pentacle Quest 10th Anniversary Celebration

10th Anniversary Celebration
of Veteran Pentacle Quest Victory

On April 23, 2007, the US Department of Veterans Affairs finally added the Pentacle to its list of emblems of belief that can be added to memorial markers it issues for graves of deceased veterans.

Since that time more than 200 Pentacle inscribed VA markers have been issued and placed at gravesite in public and private cemeteries across the USA.  Circle Cemetery in Wisconsin & Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia were the first two cemeteries to receive VA Pentacle markers in 2007 and are the two cemeteries with the most (nine each). 

On April 23, 2017, Circle Sanctuary will be celebrating the victory with a special ceremony at Veterans Ridge of Circle Cemetery.  It will be facilitated by Rev. Selena Fox, assisted by others, including Rev. Dave Sassman of Indiana and Karen DePolito of Utah, widow of Jerome Birnbaum, the first Pagan veteran to have cremated remains buried at Circle Sanctuary and whose grave is marked by one of the first VA Pentacle markers to be issued.
