The Knights of Columbus, a group known for their traditional Memorial Day mass, are currently in a legal battle with the National Park Service over the denial of permits for their annual service. The Knights of Columbus have been holding a Memorial Day mass at a national cemetery in Virginia for 60 consecutive years. However, for the past two years, they have been denied permits to conduct their service.
The Knights of Columbus have taken legal action against the National Park Service, claiming that the denial of their permit is unjust and infringes on their religious freedom. They argue that being prohibited from holding their religious service in the cemetery makes them feel like second-class citizens due to their faith.
