They Call it.....




Arlington Cemetary West and is located on the beach in Santa Monica, CA. Each cross represents a soldier who has died in Iraq. I can tell you that it is very hard to see this in person and not get choked up. It sadly brings home the reality of numbers. There were many people leaving flowers and walking silently amoung the crosses. Most were visibly moved by the experience.


They keep a running tally for the week and war. They say if they tried to include the Iraqi numbers, the whole beach would be filled.
