Bush Administration Agrees To Approve Wiccan Pentacle For Veteran Memorials
Excerp from article:
"Americans United's attorneys uncovered evidence that the VA's refusal to recognize the Pentacle was motivated by bias toward the Wiccan faith. President George W. Bush, when he was governor of Texas, had opposed the right of Wiccans to meet at a military base in that state. Bush's opinion of Wiccans was taken into consideration when making decisions on whether to approve the Pentacle."
So if my family decides that they want to bury me instead of cremating my remains, there can be a gravemarker for me. That's a relief. We're still a threatened faith, but not so much today as we were last week. I am grateful.
