Yesterday I made my first trip to Balboa Park and bumped into the Veterans for Peace setting up a memorial to the 4000th soldier KIA in Iraq. They do this often. They setup a replica cemetery with crosses and candles. They put a soldier's name on each cross.
One fellow told me three years ago they were setting up on the beach in Oceanside and some kids rode up on bicycles and went running through the crosses. They found the crosses bearing the names of their uncle and cousin. Then they rode off.
He said several of their members can't do it anymore; it's too painful.
