"We are pleased to report that the battle over the WWII Memorial Jesus statue has come to an end. It’s a significant victory against angry atheists that allows war heroes to be properly honored.
"As we expected, the Ninth Circuit’s[!] denial of review delivered a final blow to the attack. " . . .
. . .
"As you will recall, the battle began, almost 5 years ago, when the angry atheist group known as the Freedom From Religion Found[a]tion demanded that the over 60 year old WWII Memorial statue of Jesus be removed from Big Mountain in Montana. The six foot Jesus statue was originally erected in the Flathead National Forest by the Knights of Columbus to remember the service of the local veterans that bravely fought the Nazis in the Italian Alps. The statue held deep historical significance to residents and veterans in the community – reminding veterans of the statues that brought them hope and solace as they fought for freedom across Europe.
