The link below will take you to a video of the ritual and memorial for Sgt. Patrick Stewart. a veteran who died when his helicopter was shot down in Afghanistan. It's a little old news now, but still wonderful. 

Stewart was Wiccan but the request to have a pentacle on his grave marker was denied by the VA or whoever. It was held up for ever in a swirl of request and denials, but the hard work of the Pagan community and other like minded folks really made it happen. Blessings to all involved, and peace to Sgt. Stewart and his family and friends, as well as to all those who perish during military conflict.
