N.Y. Town Official Refuses To Remove "God Bless America" Signs
LINDENHURST, N.Y. (AP) A Long Island official who posted two ``God Bless America" signs outside the town hall in Babylon, New York, vows to keep them on display, despite complaints by some citizens that they violate separation of church and state.
Babylon Town Supervisor Steve Bellone says, ``'God Bless America' is practically our second national anthem and a sacred American motto."
One of the signs is an eleven-foot banner, hung between columns on the front of Babylon town hall, with the message ``Thank You to Our Troops, God Bless America." The second, reading ``God Bless America," is on one side of a two-sided sign that also serves as a community calendar.
