If it was still on government land, it should be taken down - it shouldn't have been put there in the first place. From what I could tell, it has no aesthetic or historical significance. It looks like it's just a cross that someone put up, rather than an actual memorial. It is not part of a larger complex or anything like that.
Now that the VFW holds the land, however, they can do what they like.
Regarding the dishonoring veterans bit - what about nonbelieving veterans? Aren't they being dishonored by bringing religion in on something meant to commemorate their sacrifice?
