Atheists demand crosses be removed from Marine Corps base
April 20, 2012
According to Fox News, the Military Association of Atheists and Freethinkers (MAAF) and Americans United for Separation of Church and State are threatening to sue the United States Marine Corps if it refuses to remove two memorial crosses at California's Camp Pendleton Marine Corps Base.
Planted atop a remote hill called Mount Horno rest two 13-foot crosses. Erected in 2003 by seven Marines, the site was established for reflection by people grieving over lives lost in the war on terror.
For almost 10 years, the crosses have stood on the hill without complaint, until MAAF and AU filed a complaint, arguing the site violated the Constitutional mandate of separation of church and state. They want the crosses moved to a church on private land and flags or some other symbol used instead to mark the site.
The Commandant of Camp Pendleton, Brig. Gen. Vincent A. Coglianese, USMC, has authority over whether the two memorial crosses erected atop Mount Horno can remain in place.
