I think it is awesome. We should celebrate our constitution and our freedom of religion. Many people gave their lives for it.
I am Christian.

I'm an atheist, so what's coming isn't based on my having drank the religious Kool-Aid. Wicca is NOT about killing babies. It's a belief based on nature and the connection between Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Spirit (The 5 pentacle points) It has NOTHING to do with Satan.
That said, it's as valid a fairy tale belief as Christianity, Taoism, or any other, so they should have their own symbol. Even atheists do at Arlington.

It's great and about time. Wiccans and every religion Veterans should have the right to have the symbol that represents their faith. If people don't like it then how about taking ALL symbols away so no one has one. Doesn't sound right does it?
Oh and Atheist have an approved symbol. Go here and see the symbols that are approved.

I think there's nothing wrong with it. Wicca is a pagan religion that actually has ONE symbol so it should be 'allowed' on official headstones not just at Arlington but everywhere.

If a Wiccan fights for his/her country, why shouldnt he/she be allowed what they want on their headstone?
After 7+ years of fighting for this right, I say its about time!

You mean that they put a Wiccan mountain in Arlington, and they decided to allow its summit to be there? Cool! I wanna go!

Actually, it's a PENTACLE (if it's in a circle it's a PENTAGRAM). I think it's a great idea! I'm for freedom of speech and religion. ALL religions and philosophies (including atheism), not just those I personally like. That's what makes this country great...

I think it's about time. I hope this makes it easier for other types of pagans, or people of any religion that's not represented, to have their symbols added as well.

I think it was clearly un-american for them to even dispute it...
In 2008, people will hopefully remember that when voting...
Religious Freedom means for everyone - (not just the fundies).

I think it's great. Everyone is entitled to what they want on their tombstone in my belief
