mistakes DO happen. i'd believe this was an oversight IF it was ANY administration EXCEPT king george's.
of course they ONLY attempted to make things right when they found out roberta stewart wasn't going to roll over and keep quiet.
ms stewart, i'm sorry for the loss of your husband (and i'm sorry for all of the OTHER losses of our troops)
an' it harm none, do as you will

President Bush has apologized to the widow of a Wiccan soldier after she was excluded from a Nevada meeting this week that the president held with the families of soldiers killed in combat.
Roberta Stewart, whose husband, Sgt. Patrick Stewart, was killed in Afghanistan in 2005, was left off the invitation list for the private meeting Tuesday even though other members of her husband's family were invited. When she heard about the exclusion from her mother-in-law, Stewart said, she concluded that it was done because of her public fight to force the federal government to engrave the symbol for the Wiccan faith on her husband's marker on a memorial.
"I was devastated," Stewart said. "I was crying and upset. I couldn't believe that my country would continue this discrimination."..........
