ARE THERE NO ATHEISTS IN ARLINGTON?

An Unpublished Letter to Los Angeles Times

Context: The debate surrounding the phrase "one nation under God" in The Pledge of Allegiance

I am proud to be a Catholic American, but I have to ask: Are there no atheist Americans buried in Arlington?

Perhaps some of the Japanese Americans who left the internment camps to fight and die for our country during World War II were Buddhists, who believed in our country but not in my God.

Patriotic actions speak louder than patriotic words.
