in memoriam

chiar langa circul de pe santa monica pier, un fel de...nu pot spune monument, un fel de reminder mai repede...pentru ca americanii si nu numai sa-si aminteasca de cat sunt de norocosi sa fie in viata si sa nu-si uite eroii...parca fara sens sa fie acolo si totusi...unde ar fi fost mai potrivit decat intr-un loc in care toata lumea poate sa-l vada si sa se gandeasca 1 minut ...este Arlington West (http://www.arlingtonwestsantamonica.org/):
Wikipedia : 'Arlington West is a temporary memorial is created on Santa Monica Beach just north of the Santa Monica Pier at Santa Monica, every Sunday from sunrise to sunset. Crosses are placed on the beach for each U.S. military person who has died in the Iraq War. The number of crosses erected every Sunday now exceeds 4,000. For military personnel killed within the week past, flag draped coffins with blue crosses are positioned in front. The Arlington West Memorial, a project of Veterans For Peace, is intended to offer visitors a graceful, visually and emotionally powerful, place for reflection.'
