I think the issue someone had was that they were all crosses and didn't take into account the different religions of the individual soldiers. Instead of taking it all down, wouldn't it have been easier to add whatever symbols fit the few soldiers in a town of 2300 people that might not fall under that particular religion?

"It was never about religion -- it was just to honor them," Philyaw told FoxNews.com on Tuesday. "I was devastated when it had to come down."

 
"We wanted to make sure that they weren’t forgotten. We also wanted their families to know that our hearts still bleed for them," she said. "At the time, it never, ever crossed my mind about the religious factor in it."
 
"The cross is a 'rest in peace' symbol to me," said Philyaw.
