Veteran's Affairs deny Wiccan burial
I heard a story on the radio today that the Veteran's Affairs Dept refuses to give a military burial to a soldier killed in action because he wanted a wiccan symbol (a five-sided star within a circle) inscribed on his tombstone. The family has come forward saying they practice a religion of nature and it has nothing to do with devil worshipping. The government however refuses to budge. It should be noted that Veteran's Affairs allows some 40 other symbols representing several different religions.
