A number of volunteers were very busy yesterday, 9-28-07, setting up the Memorial to the Fallen of both Iraq and Afganistan, with thoughts also of those who are not counted but their deaths are a direct result of having served in both theaters and experiancing the Hell on Earth man creates.
Thoughts and Sad memories are also embedded in the Memorial of the Tens of Thousands of Innocent Iraqi people with Code Pink setting up the 'Peace Ribbon' some of which carry the names of only a few.
The Arlington South Memorial of 4,000 Crosses is be set up in Charlotte on the first International Day of Non-Violence!
The crosses are being displayed at Independence Park (7th and Hawthorne) in Charlotte on the final weekend in September (28-30). We ask that any in or near Charlotte please stop by and visit the Memorial, especially if you can make it for the dedication ceremony at noon on Saturday Sept. 29.
The human cost of the war is enormous and increasing. This memorial is intended to be a place to mourn, reflect, contemplate, grieve, and meditate. 4,000 hand made crosses / Star of David/ Islam Crescents that honor and acknowledge those who have lost their lives and loved ones in Afghanistan and Iraq. We mourn the loss of all life – Military and Civilian, of Every Nationality!
