Santa Barbara Beach         

The first picture is taken at the beach in Santa Barbara right next to the Pier.  There is a veterans group that started putting a cross and candle on the beach for every death in Iraq and Afghanistan. The amazing thing is that they only do it on the weekends.

They put up this graveyard and take it down every weekend.  Guys sleep in the sand next to it and keep watch over it at night so nobody messes with it. Every cross has the name, rank, D.O.B. and D.O.D. on it.  Very moving, very powerful.  So many young volunteers.  So many 30 to 40 year olds as well.  Amazing!
The ACLU has filed a suit to have all military cross-shaped headstones removed.
