Arlington West Memorial
Arlington West Memorial photos by Alan Levenson
Thousands of miles west of Arlington National Cemetery in Santa Monica, California, every Sunday morning the Veterans For Peace begin erecting crosses, Jewish stars and Muslim moon and stars in a perfect grid; then drape coffins with American flags: one for each serviceman/woman killed that week. At the end of the day, much like a Mandala, everything is packed up into trucks, the sand is swept, and the memorial disappears
Alan Levenson shares his photographs of the temporal (and temporary) perpetual Arlington West Memorial.
