Wiccan Symbol Will Go On Memorial Plaque For Veteran

While Nevadan Roberta Stewart has still not gotten the federal Department of Veteran's Affairs to approve the use of a Wiccan symbol on the grave marker of her deceased husband who was killed in Afghanistan, she has received a more sympathetic reception from state officials. The Nevada Office of Veterans Services has approved placement of a plaque containing a pentacle on the Veterans' Memorial Wall at the Northern Nevada Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Fernley, NV. It will be ready for installation by Sept. 25, the one-year anniversary of Patrick Stewart's death. Today's Reno Gazette-Journal and today's Nevada Appeal report on these developments. The deceased serviceman was a member of Nevada's National Guard.
