 nbc4.tv - News - Jewish War Vets, ACLU Continue Fight To Remove Soledad Cross
The legislation transferred ownership of the land holding the 29-foot Latin cross to the federal government, but the ACLU of San Diego and Imperial counties filed suit yesterday on behalf of Jewish War Veterans and three San Diego residents, claiming the cross does not represent veterans who are non-Christians.
On Aug. 14, President Bush signed a bill that transferred ownership of the land upon which the Mount Soledad cross sits to the Department of Defense to be preserved as a national war memorial.
Cross supporters have said the U.S. Constitution is less stringent about the presence of religious symbols on public land than the California Constitution, which the previous decisions were based.
