Arlington West Memorial

Every Sunday since February 2004, Arlington West, a temporary memorial of crosses and coffins that represent every single military casualty in Iraq, is created on the beach just north of the pier at Santa Monica, California. The Arlington West Memorial, a project of Veterans For Peace, offers visitors a place to reflect on the more than four thousand military deaths in Iraq since the war began in March 2003. The crosses are placed on the beach at sunrise and taken down before sunset.
