In silent protest against the war in Iraq, Tom Urban, a volunteer from the "Veterans for Peace" group in Santa Barbara, CA, erects white wooden crosses on the beach for every American serviceman killed in Iraq. Since last November, the memorial, fondly dubbed ''Arlington West,'' goes up at sunrise and down at sunset every Sunday to mark the rising death toll in Iraq. Each cross bears the name, rank, age and hometown of a fallen U.S. soldier. There was a total of 894 crosses on the morning of July 18, 2004.
