Wiccan not allowed to have symbol on his military grave.
Apparently fighting for freedom doesn't give a National Guardsman the right to have his expressed on the tombstone?

Honoring a Wiccan Warrior FoxNews report
Nevada National Guard Sgt. Patrick Stewart was killed in the line of duty in Afghanistan in September 2005. Now, his widow wants to honor his sacrifice with a plaque on a military memorial wall. But the Department of Veterans' Affairs does not recognize the Wiccan religion, which Stewart practiced, and will not allow the symbol of his religion to be included on the plaque. Is this religious discrimination? Watch the video and tell us whether you give the DVA's decision an Up or Down vote.
