Patrick Stewart's Memorial Service this weekend!!

MEMORIAL DAY is the American holiday that remembers and honors US military war dead. This year it is on Monday, May 29.
Sgt. Patrick Stewart, a Nevada National Guardsman and a Wiccan, was killed in action by terrorists in Afghanistan on September 25, 2005.
He died in the service of the United States in Operation EnduringFreedom, also known as the War on Terrorism which the USA launched following terrorist attacks on America on September 11, 2001. Sgt. Patrick Stewart made the ultimate sacrifice and deserves the same respect and honor given the other war dead. He deserves to have his memorial plaque with his emblem of belief on it, the Pentacle, at this Memorial Day, the first after his death. More about Sgt. Stewart has just been posted on-line:http://www.circlesanctuary.org/liberty/veteranpentacle/stewartlifeandtimes.htm
Thus far, the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has failed to give Sgt. Stewart the honor that he deserves. Despite repeated requests to approve the Pentacle over the past 9 years, the VA still has not approved the Pentacle for inclusion on government-issued memorial markers, plaques, and headstones for deceased veterans. Because the VA has still not approved the Pentacle, Roberta Stewart, Sgt. Stewart's widow, is holding a special Memorial Day service to honor him, to memorialize deceased veterans of all religions, and to issue a public call to hold the VA accountable for upholding the US Constitution by providing equal treatment for all the religions of deceased veterans.
