Nevada OK's widow's wish to place Wiccan symbol on slain soldier/husband's tombstone:

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.

I've got no problem with this.  Stewart served honorably and deserves to be recognized with respect.
