The continuing saga of the Mount Soledad Cross has not yet officially ended. The cross has stood in the war memorial since 1952, not 1954, as I previously posted. I regret the error. As the title link explains, a cross in one form or another has stood on that mountaintop since 1913.
For nearly one hundred years, a cross has grace that site. In all that time, no one besides San Diego's one disgruntled atheist ever determined that it caused harm to any person or infringed on rights. There are signs that San Diego Congressmen Duncan Hunter (R-CA) and Randy "Duke" Cunningham (R-CA) are not prepared to give up the fight even now.
The San Diego City Council vote notwithstanding, these two Congressmen continue to work towards protecting this beautiful landmark. There should be more news on Monday, and if there is, I will post it here.
