The Veterans Memorial Park in Belle Plaine, Minn., includes a walkway with rows of American flags on either side, a UH-1 Huey helicopter and a granite monument with the engraved names of residents who died in the Indian War of 1862, the Civil War, World Wars I and II, and the Korean and Vietnam Wars.

Coming soon to this one-acre park will be an unlikely monument from an even more unlikely source: a black steel cube with a golden inverted pentagram on each side and an empty soldier’s helmet on the top, sponsored by the Satanic Temple.

It will be the first monument sponsored by the temple to be erected on public grounds, the group said.

Belle Plaine, a city of about 6,900 residents about 45 miles southwest of Minneapolis, might be an unexpected spot for such a precedent, which was set off by months of debate over whether a different monument crossed church-state boundaries when it was added to the park.
