"City forced to remove memorial of soldier kneeling at a cross"
dailymail.co.uk
The city of King is settling a lawsuit by removing a Christian flag and statue of soldier kneeling by a cross from the Veteran's Memorial at King Central Park.
The Winston-Salem Journal reported the city council voted 3-2 Tuesday to approve the settlement. Under the agreement, the city will not fly the Christian flag and will remove the statue depicting a soldier kneeling before a cross-shaped marker.
The city said in a news release that it had incurred more than $50,000 in legal fees and costs.
It estimated litigation costs would have approached $2 million, exceeding the city's $1 million insurance coverage.
A U.S. Army veteran sued in November 2012, alleging King officials violated his constitutional rights by allowing the Christian flag to fly at the memorial.
Fox News reports that the memorial was paid for with private donations.
