Bush Apologizes to Wiccan Widow
President Bush called Rebecca Stewart to apologize for not inviting her to a private meeting with relatives of soldiers killed in military combat. Stewart and her husband, Sgt. Frank Stewart were Wiccans and after Sgt. Stewart was killed in Afghanistan in 2005, Mrs. Stewart sued to have a pentagram placed on his tombstone.
She won the suit and the Wiccan symbol was added to 38 others on the list of approved symbols.
Mrs. Stewart said she believes she was excluded from the meeting because of their faith but President Bush said the exclusion was just an oversight
Mrs. Stewart found out about the meeting from her mother-in-law, who by the way, was invited.
