Emblems of Belief: The 'crescent and star' has deep roots in Near Eastern culture, but recent roots as a symbol of Islam. When you see the emblem on a flag or minaret, the crescent is almost never tilted downward. As a part of the cemetery landscape, however, the waning moon finds it fitting to bow in honor of the dead. Beaufort National Cemetery. [2008]
