The argument was made that the kneeling was for a fallen soldier. I don’t think that interpretation is correct. You, too, seem to agree that that’s not the only reason to kneel for the cross.
Edit: Upon a bit more reflection, this particular graphic for this saying could mean a dead soldier since it’s a soldier praying. And crosses are sometimes used for soldiers’ grave markers. But not always. And you can find soldiers praying in front of other crosses. And soldiers don’t pray only for the dead when kneeling before a cross. I’d have to ask the artist her intentions.
What would be another reason? What i’m saying is religion isn’t a reason, honoring the deads is.
Is there something else, maybe i didn’t understand what you meant?
Edit : Yes in this particular case it’s a soldier on the grave of its brother in arms who died at war. Not sure who the artist is but the meaning is pretty clear, stand for America and honor the soldiers that fought for it in war.

It could be a soldier praying for a safe tour.
But see my edit. If the artist meant it to be a fallen soldier as the reason, I could believe it. I don’t think it’s the only possibility though.
So what is the possibility you meant by “kneeling to religion” ?
I wrote “for” not “to”
I meant, it’s a religious gesture.
