This picture was 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!

This is put up by Veterans for Peace. This group says it works to “build a culture of peace” by using the experiences and voices of veterans of war.

Yet everyone blasts Trump for saying both wars were a bad idea for Americans. Looks like it was a bad idea to me. Look at all those crosses. Each one probably would be here if it were for our non-existent foreign policy and stupid leadership over the last 30 years.

Everyone since Bush Sr. has had NO military experience. Even Trump went to a highly reputable military academy. None of them have had even that and yet they make decisions that lead to this.
