The groups, including the Alliance Defense Fund and the American Legion Department of California, are seeking to lift a court order that covered the memorial with a large box. A federal court issued the order after the American Civil Liberties Union argued that veterans’ memorials in the form of crosses are unconstitutional.
“One person’s agenda shouldn’t diminish the sacrifice made by America’s veterans and families,” said ADF Legal Counsel Tim Chandler. “Americans want these memorials to be protected. What is more important: the feelings of a single ‘offended’ person or honoring the memory of thousands of American heroes in a way that has been considered constitutional throughout our nation’s history? If the Mojave cross is not allowed to stand, then numerous other veterans’ memorials are vulnerable to legal attack.”
