Veterans group brings Ten Commandments monument to Texas
The American Veterans Standing for God and Country will bring the Ten Commandments monument, which was ordered removed from the Alabama State Supreme Court Building, to Waco, Texas on Thursday.
The Veterans Faith and Freedom National Tour will make a stop from noon to 3 p.m. Thursday at Parkview Baptist Church, 1100 E. Lake Shore Dr. in Waco.
The monument began its nationwide tour this summer in Dayton, Tenn., outside the courthouse where the teaching of evolution was put on trial almost 80 years ago in the so-called Scopes Monkey Trial.
Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore lost his job for defying a court order to remove the monument, which had installed in the rotunda of the Alabama Judicial Building.
The Alabama Court of the Judiciary voted on Nov. 13, 2003 to remove Moore from office for defying the federal judge’s order.
Moore said his refusal was a moral and lawful acknowledgement of God, but prosecutors said the defiance would harm the judicial system if left unchecked.
The veterans group says the Ten Commandments are the clearest and most powerful presentation of meaningful wisdom ever handed down by God to benefit all mankind.
