We are allowing our men and women to die for our country but we are not allowing them to display their faith on military headstones, but atheist's are allowed a symbol.

Wiccians are allowed religious freedoms in the US military. I believe they allow them to put "Wiccan" on their dog tags as well.

I have Heinzism on my Dog Tag, But I am not in the Military or nothing. However, they did give me a hard time with it at first... I believe everyone no matter what their religion should have a choice of what is allowed on their headstone, or even have a choice to have which type of grave..... I support Wiccan's campaigning for the write to Display the Pentagram on their head stone. They deserve it as much as the right as Christians, Atheists, Muslims everyone else etc. to display their faith symbols proudly. - DNatureofDTrain

Definitely, a person's headstone should be a personal choice and if they want to show their religion then they should. Personally as a Wiccan I would definitely want it shown on my headstone

They definately should be allowed. If your willing to fight and die for your country, then they should allow whatever your religion to be on your tombstone.

Of course they should. Actually, I think the case you are thinking of has finally been settled in favor of allowing the symbol. So a victory for religious freedom!
