Results: What do you think of the war memorial cross being resurrected in the Mojave desert?

A cross in the Mojave National Preserve has been resurrected after being removed because it was deemed unconstitutional by the court. Sunrise Rock became part of the Mojave National Preserve in 1994, putting the Christian symbol on public land. The American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit in 2001 on behalf of a retired Park Service employee who argued the cross was unconstitutional on government property because of the separation of church and state, and federal courts ordered it removed. The cross was placed there in the 1930s by Henry Sandoz as part of a promise to a dying World War I veteran. The site is now in private hands and a cross was rededicated on Veterans Day on the same hilltop before more than 100 people.

It is a shame that it had to go through the courts and for a long time the cross was not there.

Although there should be some separation between church and state, this was taking it a bit too far as it was for a war vetern not a church

It shows that our constitution is at work in regard to the separation of religion and state.
