One might ask if the person in the first picture was aware of how his image was to be used. I know I wouldn't have a problem with it.

While I know many atheists have died for nationalistic ideals, the first and the last images on the OP are obvious fakes. superimposed letters.

What a shame.

Good question. The tag around his neck makes me wonder if he was part of the commemoration ceremony. Also, I'm happy to know that this is in my home state.

I googled "atheist and humanist veteran headstones" and I'm seeing the same headstones in my original post. They are not pixilated.
