The thing about religious symbols at a memorial - whether they are on public land or not - is that they represent the deceased. I don't see it as the government pushing religion.

I do have a problem with religious symbols on public land if they are part of a general memorial. I see those as downright disrespectful to the people being memorialized because it is a near certainty that some of them are not adherents to whatever religion the symbols represent. That's the government pushing religion and it's wrong.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
