Crosses Turn Hillside Into Statement On Iraq War
Symbol Of Mounting Death Toll
A protest of the Iraq war is unfolding in one East Bay community. The anti-war declaration quiet, somber, powerful and growing. It's the work of one man determined to honor American servicemen killed in Iraq.
[The protesters name] is Jeffrey Heaton and he says there are more of these 300 crosses on the way. Each represents 10 Americans killed in Iraq -- a ratio that will decrease eventually. He intends to plant 3,000.
Sometimes it takes a visual reminder to get people to understand something clearly. When people realize that the crosses represent lost lives, then perhaps they will begin to face up more readily to the futility of the US policy in Iraq.
