A Hillside Memorial to Americans Killed in Iraq

We came upon this makeshift memorial, apparently created by a father and son, and it took my breath away. Over 4000 Americans have been killed in Iraq in the five years since the war began.

I wonder how many hillsides it would take to show the well over 100,000 Iraqi deaths.

    I think the ground would cover about the state of Rhode Island

    makes you wonder indeed.

    In Belgium, in the southwest corner we still live with the scars of a war as well. they are there forever. It's insane when you think about it.
