Camp Pendleton Cross Up Close [Poll]
The newly-erected cross on Camp Pendleton has become a source of much controversy.
By Daniel Woolfolk

Since Veterans Day, a 13-foot cross has stood atop a San Onofre Mountain peak overlooking Camp Horno. At its base are rocks painted with messages, dog tags and offerings of whiskey for fallen Marines.

Last month, a group of Marines and civilians carried the fire retardant cross up a steep and slippery climb and erected it as a memorial to four Marines who died in Iraq. However, they did so without permission from Camp Pendleton officials.

Members of the Military Association of Atheists and Freethinkers quickly demanded it be taken down. An opinion piece in The Huffington Post by Chris Rodda, senior research director of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, countered arguments by supporters of the cross.

This was the count after I voted.
