Nevada OK's widow's wish to place Wiccan symbol on slain soldier/husband's tombstone:
I've got no problem with this. Stewart served honorably and deserves to be recognized with respect.Sgt. Patrick Stewart, 34, was killed in Afghanistan last September when a rocket-propelled grenade struck his helicopter. Four others also died. Stewart was posthumously awarded the Bronze Star and the Purple Heart.
He was a follower of the Wiccan religion, which the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs does not recognize and therefore prohibits on veterans' headstones in national cemeteries.
