The Crosses of Lafayette

10/15/08

This YouTube video features a controversial memorial. A hillside in Lafayette, California is covered in crosses. Each white cross represents a solider fallen in Iraq. A sign is updated every week with the official military death toll.

Its founder, Jeff Heaton, built the memorial to honor each fallen solider. But it was also built by activists vehemently against the war. It’s become a controversial installation. In this video, you’ll hear from those behind the memorial.
