Update: Wiccan Emblem On Memorial Struggle
Local woman Roberta Stewart is bracing herself as Memorial Day approaches.
She is the wife of Nevada National Guard Sgt. Patrick, Stewart who was killed in combat Sept. 24, 2005 when a CH 47 Chinook helicopter he was in crashed on a support mission in Afghanistan.
Roberta has been waiting for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to approve a Wiccan emblem, which would be placed on her husband’s marker at the memorial wall at the Northern Nevada Veterans Memorial Cemetery.
Although Roberta submitted an application to the Veterans Administration months ago, she had not heard back from officials even though that department indicated it would make a determination by Feb. 21. Full Story
