Pentacle VA Gravestone To Be Dedicated To Fallen North Carolina Soldier
Author: Circle Sanctuary Source: BBS News
Title: PENTACLE VA GRAVESTONE TO BE DEDICATED TO FALLEN NORTH CAROLINA SOLDIER
On Saturday, December 1, 2007, from 1 - 6 pm, Wiccan leaders from across the nation will gather at a family cemetery near Lexington, North Carolina with family, friends, veterans, and others in honoring Wiccan soldier, PFC Stephen P. Snowberger III, who was killed in action in Iraq on May 11, 2006.
They will conduct a memorial honoring Snowberger's life, service, and sacrifice, and dedicate his memorial gravestone, recently issued by the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)
Snowberger's gravestone, which is inscribed with the pentacle, the Wiccan emblem of belief, is historic. It is among the first pentacle-inscribed gravestones in the nation and the first in North Carolina to be issued by the VA.

to let his family know that a whole heap-load of people out here sympathize with their loss. He died doing a job I myself would not handle well. But the events as a result of his passing will pave the way for others like him. So, go on man, either rest in peace or party like crazy in the Otherworld.

They said something about a documentary film crew being present. Does anyone know what it was about?
I'd like to hope that it doesn't use this soldier's funeral for ill.
I'm so grateful to know that more people are being recognized with the new VA-approved markers. It is one less civil liberty violated and it gives me a sense of peace that some of the other ones that have been violated can be restored.

Rest in Peace, my Brother. I'm sure your spirit was there as this proper dedication was made. It was a long time coming, but better late than never. Thank you Stephen, for doing what most people won't.
Blessed Be
Gray Fox
