This was sent to me by a member here on LN, Lisa. Many of you know her as Mistybluelady. She asked my opinion where best to post this wonderful story and so I decided this forum would be most appropriate.
Thank you Lisa for forwarding this to me and I hope I did it justice despite my less than stellar editing
The first picture and the last picture are taken at the beach in Santa Barbara right next to the pier. There is a veterans group that started putting a cross and candle for every death in Iraq and Afghanistan . The amazing thing is that they only do it on the weekends. They put up this graveyard and take it down every weekend. Guys sleep in the sand next to it and keep watch over it at night so nobody messes with it. Every cross has the name, rank and D.O.B. and D.O.D. on it.
Very moving, very powerful! So many young volunteers. So many 30 to 40 year olds as well. Amazing !
