Has anyone seen this memorial for our soldiers in Iraq?

<<snip>>
The "Eyes Wide Open: The Human Cost of War" traveling memorial currently consists of 1,462 pairs of empty combat boots, arranged by state in parallel rows resembling the layout of a military graveyard. Each pair of boots represents a soldier who died in Iraq and is marked with a name tag stating the name, age, home state and rank of each soldier

1. I like the title but I am sorry for the reason why this memorial exist,
the lies behind it, but I love that the soldiers of war are honor as such, their blood flows from them to us with only our safety in mind. I hope one day soon we honor them by bringing home their buddies of this war which has been based on so many lies by * and his adminstration.
