The widow of an American soldier killed in Afghanistan has finally gotten what she said her husband would have wanted: a pagan religious symbol placed on his government-issued gravestone
Christian Century, Dec 26, 2006
The widow of an American soldier killed in Afghanistan has finally gotten what she said her husband would have wanted: a pagan religious symbol placed on his government-issued gravestone. Roberta Stewart, widow of Sergeant Patrick Stewart, saw the Wicca grave marker dedicated December 2 in a ceremony at the Northern Nevada Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Fernley.
She had been engaged in a yearlong battle with the federal Department of Veterans Affairs. But Nevada governor Kenny Guinn short-circuited the controversy, getting the state veterans' affairs department to issue Stewart's gravestone with the Wicca pentacle. The state agency maintains the cemetery.
