It was a relief then dear reader to discover that the United States Department of Veterans are being so inclusive, nay generous on their list of available emblems of belief for placement on government headstones and markers.
I suppose what with one thing and another, the current campaign in Mesopotamia dragging on a little longer than hoped and the revelation that so many of us are in fact both Neo-Pagan and Sikh they had to do it.
Whilst it's never a nice sight to see a gravestone, there could be something curiously heroic about a 21st Century war grave. Regimented lines of headstones united forever in death bearing witness to the Wiccans, Buddhists and Mormons who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

I Like the athiest emblem, but the nucleus with electrons orbiting it like little marbles is a somewhat outdated, and frankly wrong, representation of the structure of an (in this case, Lithium) atom.
