Commandments monument to go across country: "The Ten Commandments monument will be moved out of Alabama's judicial building Monday by a veterans group that plans to tour the country with it on a flatbed truck.

"Roy Moore, the owner of the 5,280-pound block of inscribed granite, agreed to let the American Veterans Standing for God and Country carry it through several states over the next few months for what is being billed as a series of 'God Bless America' rallies.

"Moore and the president of the veterans group, Jim Cabaniss of Houston, signed the agreement this week."
