Explanation : "When this exhibit was unveiled in January 2004, there were 504 pairs of boots symbolizing the lost lives of U.S. soldiers in Iraq. With each passing week, each stop in a new city, more pairs of boots are added to represent the newly fallen. Alongside the boots stands a wall of remembrance with the names of the more than 11,000 Iraqi civilians who have been killed since the U.S.-led invasion. As the exhibit makes its appearances across the country, families and friends come to grieve for lost loved ones and strangers honor those who gave their lives to a cause far from home. This traveling exhibit is a memorial to those who have fallen and a witness to our belief that no war can justify its human cost. ---Mary Ellen McNish, General Secretary, AFSC
