Argonne Cross Memorial
More than 2,000 of the men and women who gave their lives in France for the defense of freedom are now buried in Arlington National Cemetery, primarily in Section 18. In a corner of that large section with its many rows of simple white headstones rises the simple white rood known as the ARGONNE CROSS. A grove of 19 pine trees forms an emerald grotto that surrounds the 13-foot marble cross. These trees represent the trees of the Argonne Forest where so many lost their lives.
Cross Of Sacrifice
Designed by Canadian architect Sir Reginald Bloomfield, the monument consists of a bronze sword adorning a 24-foot gray granite cross. The inscription on the cross reaffirms the sentiment expressed by Prime Minister King regarding Americans who served in the Canadian Armed Forces. Following World War II and the Korean War, similar inscriptions on other faces of the monument were dedicated to the Americans who served in those conflicts.

Most gravestones at Arlington have small religious symbols inscribed therein — along with name, dates and miltary rank.
There's quite a few Star of David there also. The VA will place either a cross or Star of David on the vets marker at the families request. The NRP's or no religious preference will not have an emblem showing a personal religious preference. Problem has been solved for a long time.
What about Captain Khan, who lies in Arlington? (He lured a suicide bomber away from his command, giving his own life for theirs.)
