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.
