Nov. 2014, Update 1: Please check out the official page for the ongoing crosses project: http://thecrossesoflafayette.org/
Nov. 2014, Update 2: This is a mostly dormant video blog and 7 years appears to be a long time in the history of the internet. Please note that archive.org, the video host I used most for this blog--in hopes that the content would be put into the public domain and before Youtube was absolutely dominant--has converted many of the videos into audio only. Additionally blogger now has some glitches displaying the custom css template including how it displays the header and links to older and newer posts. Please use the to navigation and archive to browse.

You should make a gallery for all these images on www.myartspace.com and then embed the gallery on your blog so they are all together. Would be a message to think about and a good way to present. Just a thought.
I saw the "Crosses" today for the first time on my way to San Francisco from Walnut Creek. Whether you agree with it or not, the thing to remember is that they represent a young man or woman taken from their family and friends at a young age. These men and woman died in order to give us the right to display our support or disapproval in whatever way we see fit as long as we don't harm anyone else. That's why we live in the greatest country.
I appreciate the crosses on the hillside. I think it helps people to understand the terrible human price we pay for war.
My father was a disabled WWI veteran, who had horrible dreams all the rest of his life about the battles he was in. I was a young combat soldiers wife during the Korean war. My husband is a retired U.S. Navy officer.Many of their military friends lost their lives in the wars. The crosses help us to remember the terrible toll.
