They are mostly headstones. If one was a Christian, they will have a cross on it (different types for different denominations), if they wanted one. Muslims will have a symbol on theirs, Jews will have a symbol on theirs, etc.Should all white crosses be removed from Arlington and all federal cemeteries? Since the US is looking at a stricter interpretation of the constitution regarding separation of church and state are the crosses violating this clause? Would a Muslim soldier buried there have a cross? A Jewish soldier?

There is no phrase in the Constitution saying there must be a "Separation of Church & State". The State is only not supposed to prevent citizens from worshiping any god or practicing any religion they choose. If they choose to worship on public property then so be it. The State needs to leave the people alone.

no... the minority is also protected from people who want to shove their religious beliefs down the throats of others.

Here is the list of offically approved religous symbols for grave markers at Arlington National Cemetery:
Authorized Emblems
It's interesting to note that one can choose to be buried with a symbol on your headstone denoting that you are an ATHEIST!

I am all for separation of church and state. What you ask about Arlington has nothing to do with chruch and state. What you are asking is separating the religion of choice from the fallen dead.
If you have ever gone to a military cemetery you will see that not all markers are crosses. The crosses go on graves of soldiers who have stated they are christian. Star of Davids go on jewish soldiers graves. I am not sure what the muslim symbol is (the star and crescent?) but i am sure that is what would be used as a marker.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
Wiki - "The U.S. Supreme Court has interpreted it, to mean that religion and government must stay separate for the benefit of both, including the idea that the government must not impose religion on Americans nor create any law requiring it. It has since been in several opinions handed down by the United States Supreme Court, though the Court has not always fully embraced the principle."
Sorry, but I do not see where the minority is also protected from people who want to shove their religious beliefs down the throats of others.
