Who made the crosses???
Whose idea was it? Whoever you are..... a BIG SHOUTOUT and THANK YOU to you. Beautiful and heartwrenching.... exactly what Americans and the BFEE need to be reminded of. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.

1. I read that it's part of the traveling Arlington Memorial
and it came from a Veterans for Peace group in Louisiana, a trucker brought them to them from New Orleans.

2. And it reframes the abortion debate, as well!
The fact that they're using little white crosses, which have traditionally been used by anti-choice groups to symbolize the deaths of fetuses, is a personal coup.
It shows those anti-choice, pro-war people that the protection of life ALSO means AFTER the fetus leaves the womb.
