The Veteran's Administration's decision to allow a pentacle on grave markers in military cemeteries was one of the religious stories of the year:

But the story isn't over. As noted on neopagan blog Views from the Cyberhenge, an Air Force Pagan/Wiccan congregation has encountered opposition to its attempt to get official recognition for its Wiccan chaplain. The interesting fillip: their candidate had already previously been approved as a Protestant chaplain. The congregation has an online petition to get help from Congress.
