<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nAlmost two years ago we first wrote<\/a> about the veterans’ memorial that stands at an intersection in Bladensburg, Maryland which some folks at the American Humanist Association found “shocking” when they first saw it. They sought to have it removed for “constitutional” reasons. Luckily, according to the American Legion<\/a>, Judge Deborah K. Chasanow didn’t see it their way when she dismissed the law suit;<\/p>\n Judge Deborah K. Chasanow’s 36-page opinion cites \u201cthe nature, context, and history\u201d of the monument before concluding that \u201cthe location [of the cross] among the other monuments of Veterans Memorial Park underscores its secular and commemorative nature. In addition, the Monument has gone unchallenged for decades.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n The American Legion erected the memorial in 1925 “Dedicated to the heroes of Prince George\u2019s County Maryland who lost their lives in the Great War for the liberty of the world.” This is the first time anyone has ever complained about it in all of this time. But, knowing the butthurt as I do, it won’t be the last time. They’ll get tired of driving somewhere they won’t feel the ache of seeing the offending structure and they’ll be right back in court. Because their feelings are the most important thing in the world these days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
