You would think so, considering that the King of England is/was also the head of the Anglican Church.
I do believe this: if you were/are a member of our military force, the religion that you hold dear, should be respected, even to your ‘emblem’ upon your marker. These folks defend us, and what we, each of us, consider ‘the religion we hold dear’. They have earned the right to have whatever they choose on their marker, don’t you think?
No atheist can stand there and tell me, ‘no you can’t’.
I pretty much agree with you.
BTW, I noticed on the local news that a medal of honor winner died today in Ft. Walton Beach. Can’t remember his name.
