Pentacle Lawsuit Will Proceed

Friday February 2, 2007
Despite a weak attempt by the would-be defendants to postpone, Wiccans WILL be permitted to sue the Veterans Administration for their continued refusal to grant permission to Wiccans to join some thirty other religious groups allowed to use religious symbols on soldier's grave-markers.

After years of blowing off Pagan families, the VA requested the postponement so they could have an additional year to draft new rules for accepting new grave marker symbols- and promised a decision within thirty days after that, adding an additional thirteen months to the ten years they've been waffling and stonewalling, refusing top honor or even acknowledge numerous requests.

Thank goodness. It is about time that the VA recognizes that there are more out there than just Christians.
I myself have wondered if my beliefs were going to be recognized not just in life (good luck with the VA) but after I leave this plane of existance.
