Each war is different, each war is the same

Muslim and Christian next to each other

A few words on the MADNESS
-

Is this the Star of David?

here too

May they all rest in peace, and may we have no more casualties to war.

Don't our leaders get it?
We're all dying!~
WAR is useless

Each war is different, each war is the same by kevindooley.

#298 in Explore, 10/30/2007 -- Thanks SO MUCH friends and visitors.

This is a more dramatic treatment of the Iraq war memorial (Arlington West) at Santa Monica beach, California.

The title is from the movie "Jarhead", although it has probably been said by people for the last 10,000 years.

My Grandfather was in WW2, my father in Vietnam, I was in Dessert Storm, and my son now serves in Iraq. Never Forget that each soldier is a person that needs support from home ... regardless of political views.

Excellent job.
