TOO MANY FLAGS FOR ALL THE WRONG REASONS

This is a display that was recently presented at a local church here in Miami. While the media presents the chilling facts of the two conflicts that our military is facing, this presentation creates a very strong and solid impact towards ones emotions.

A a Veteran of Desert Storm, I do support our troops even if I don't agree with the reasoning for what the troops are required to do.

This was a clear way for my two young daughters to understand the impact of war and the losses a war can create.

    Fantastic image. Both aesthetically pleasing, yet frighting when you grasp the meaning.

    awesome shot. The cost is staggering. Even when I don't agree with the reasons I have nothing but respect and thankful feelings for those who know that at anytime they could be represented by one of those flags for the freedoms I take for granted daily....Thank you.

    Great shot. I'm not political, but I knew it was a mistake the very second we were told the war was on in Iraq. Do they have any books in Washington about Vietnam or Korea or even Desert Storm? We have accomplised the evacuation of millions of displaced and broken families from there homes. Don't get me started......
