Photo of the Moment: The Human Cost of the Iraq War in Normal, Illinois

Eyes Wide Open: The Human Cost of the Iraq War, Normal
© soundfromwayout

In the photographer’s words:

“the human cost of the Iraq War grows every day. How many more boots will be standing at silent attention before this war ends, before Iraqis and American soldiers are out of harm’s way?”
- Mary Ellen McNish, General Secretary, AFSC

Each boot represents a solider from Illinois who has been killed in the Iraq conflict.

It was awesome seeing something from Normal on here! I am a student at ISU in Normal, and this was featured on our campus.
