Wiccan Symbol Approved for VA Graves

From CNN

"This settlement has forced the Bush Administration into acknowledging that there are no second class religions in America, including among our nation's veterans," said the Rev. Barry W. Lynn, director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, which represented the Wiccans in the lawsuit.

I find it interesting that there are currently 38 (with the Pentacle being the 38th) symbols that have been approved for grave markers of soldiers.

I've only seen symbols for Christianity and Judaism, but apparently there are symbols for Sufi and Buddhism too.
