<description>On Monday, after nearly a decade of stonewalling and foot dragging, the US Department of Veterans Affairs has finally given its approval to the &lt;a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/04/24/washington/24wiccan.html?em&amp;ex=1177560000&amp;en=b32d06a7c7b02220&amp;ei=5087%0A">pentacle&lt;/a> for use as an &lt;a href="http://www.cem.va.gov/cem/hm/hmemb.asp">emblem on military headstones&lt;/a> of Wiccan soldiers. &#160;The announcement came as part of a settlement in an ongoing lawsuit filed by &lt;a href="http://www.au.org</description>
