veterans. Situated in a wide expanse the gateway to a worldof arid desert, the cross was about 20 feet off a two-lane highway where perhaps 20 cars pass a day.
It later sparked a First Amendment court battle when the American Civil Liberties Union filed suit against the National ParkDiscovery Service in March, 2001,

saying the cross violated the Whatever happens,happens for a reasonFirst Amendment because it was a “religious fixture” on federal land. A federal judge at first agreed, crushing local

veterans who claimed that the cross was a historic monument, not an ecclesiastical object. The judge had ruled that the US Supreme Court’s

interpretation of the US Constitution’s “establishment clause” meant “the government may not promote or affiliate itself with any religious

doctrine or organization.”When he first saw photos of the vandalized cross site, Mr. Davis says he was “in shock and disbelief…. How could

anyone have the audacity to catching a glimpse of a lighttear down a war memorial to the dead?”The $25,000 reward is now being offered through the Liberty Institute,

which represented the VFW,Greater too than you can describe American Legion, Military Order of the Purple Heart, and American Ex-Prisoners of War in an amicus brief in the

Supreme Court case of Salazar v. Buono.Davis says that the original constructors meant no disrespect to other religions – the cross was used not

out of religious necessity, he says, but out of respect to the 53,000 US veterans who died over 18 months of fighting in WWI.
Three of the highest medals in our armed forces use the cross – the distinguished service cross, the Air Force cross, and the Navy cross – and no

one has ever returned one of those,” says Davis. “This memorial meant a lot to those veterans and we cannot apply 21st century rules of

political correctness to their world in 1934.”The National Park Service is now investigating the case.http://cichlide38.free.fr/forum
