I have no problem with the cross being at the memorial the only thing I can say I have a problem with is if they are not allowing the faiths of other war dead and veterans to be represented. I think constitutionally you must either let all faiths (and I mean those actually followed by one or more of the veterans. I think there is a difference between some judge putting a monument to the 10 Commandments on the courthouse lawn (the 10 Commandments are a law code, they are not the law of the United States, it would be like putting making a statue of the Constitution of Canada and placing it front of Congress). I don't see the monument itself running into the establishment clause, only the refusal to allow other faiths, this I do think is unconstitutional. As long as the monument is paid for and maintained by an outside group and all faiths are represented I don't see a problem with it.
