Bet the vets will find their way into the courts on this. These guys have no problem with crosses being on the graves of their fallen comrades, these guys put their lives on the line for you, don't you think they have the right to have markers over their graves that suit them. Of coarse not, it violates your interpretation of the constitution. You all couldn't care less about those who died for your freedom, the only appreciation you have for then is the freedom to violate their rights, sorry, just really sorry attitudes for people who gave their lives for you.

While I can't speak for the others, for me this is about secularism, not veterans. This behemoth of a cross that can be seen from large distances is on federal property, this is not ok. The government should not affiliate with any religion, if this were a satanic cross or an Islamic symbol you better believe Christians would be using the same argument in courts to get it taken down.
