Necronikki I am a practicer of Wicca and, I think they should allow us to show it in the military. Just like christians are proud, so are we! 12/18/2007
Boniface.'. Christians often speak of discrimination against them, yet they are allow the most basic of rights, that of deciding what will be on their grave marker and Wiccans are not.

It sickens me when incident after incident I see our government bend over backwards for the Christian faith, but not give a flip about other religions and their right and principles. When are we truly going to achieve religious non-discrimaination in this country? After reading this story it seems NOT SOON!
