Symbol, the pentacle song, by Celia
(6:43)
Performed at Sacred Harvest Festival 2006, a Pagan gathering of the Minnesota Harmony Tribe
The inspiration for the song was the death of a soldier and his wife’s request that a pentacle be used on her husband’s memorial plaque.
On September 25, 2005, with honor, Sgt. Patrick D. Stewart, 113th Aviation, D company, Mustangs, of the Nevada National Guard, gave his life for his country. He was killed in action in Operation Enduring Freedom. Mustang 22, the Chinook helicopter he was in was shot down in Afghanistan by Al Quada terrorists.
April 23, 2009 marks the 2nd anniversary of the Veteran’s Administration addition of the pentacle to “its list of emblems of belief that can be included on the grave markers it issues to honor deceased US military veterans” (source)

Thanks for the video, and I’m very glad to hear that pentacles were added to memorial markers by the armed forces. No reason why they shouldn’t be, especially in the Land of the Free.
Happy Earth Day.
