WASHINGTON, April 23 - To settle a lawsuit, the Department of Veterans
Affairs has agreed to add the Wiccan pentacle to a list of approved
religious symbols that it will engrave on veterans' headstones.

That's a good sign. After all, Mars exalts in Capricorn.
"Available Emblems of Belief for Placement on Government
Headstones and Markers":

If I were a veteran, I'd prefer a good old-fashioned ankh
on my headstone, given that choice. But it's not on the
list, so I guess any Tau-like Christian symbol would do.
So I'd go with the first symbol shown, "CHRISTIAN CROSS".
In Vigilance,
