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 !
Did you know that the ACLU has filed a suit to have all military cross-shaped headstones removed, and that they filed another suit to end prayer from the military completely? They're making great progress. The Navy Chaplains can no longer mention Jesus' name in prayer thanks to the ACLU and our new administration.
MTW- You know, in World War II, the Nazis did not even do anything to mess with the grave of the Marquis de Lafayette, in France, he was granted American Citizenship, along with ALL of his decendents. His grave was filled partially with soil from Bunker Hill as well as an American flag. That should tell you something.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
