Veterans Affairs Secretary Robert Wilkie feels confident about the directive he issued this month allowing the public display of religious content at the agency’s 100-plus facilities.

Part of that confidence stems from the Supreme Court’s recent 7-2 ruling in American Legion v. American Humanist Association, which affirmed the constitutionality of a 94-year-old Christian cross commemorating Maryland residents killed in World War I. Wilkie’s confidence comes also from the Trump administration’s overall efforts to defend religious liberty.
