Millions of families will visit graves on Monday to pay their respects to relatives who died serving in our military — sons and daughters who died in the deserts of Iraq and mountains of Afghanistan, mothers and fathers killed in the Vietnamese jungle, grandparents who stormed the Normandy beaches, great-grandparents who fell at Belleau Wood, and ancestors who “gave the last full measure of devotion” at Gettysburg.

Three atheist groups are trying to have government memorials scrubbed of religious references, never mind that religious faith and prayer provided solace to those who gave their lives, and still does so to many who survive them. The atheist argument is that the First Amendment mandates the expunging of religion from the public square, and, thanks to Obama-appointed judges, this specious argument is winning. It is now up to the Supreme Court to intervene.
