From the press covering this story I've read, the company does not make any attempt to hide the markings and openly acknowledges their existence/meaning when asked. Whether the verses were actually known about when whoever made the decision to go with those sights is unknown, right now it seems like typical ass-covering by the military saying they knew nothing. Or they really could not have known, but that is hard to believe given how long this company's products have been used by the military. Then again it could be a case of "well the guys really like these sights, that's an odd looking serial number on the side there.. whatever, they like it so we'll buy it."

The company is overtly Christian. From their website page About Us: "• Morality
We believe that America is great when its people are good. This goodness has been based on biblical standards throughout our history and we will strive to follow those morals." So whoever made the decision to contract with Trijicon knew at least that much for starters.
