Boots on The Ground Memorial in Prov., RI

"THIS IS WHAT I'M TALKING!! Boots on The Ground "a SEA OF SACRIFICE" at Roger Williams Park. 6,844 American flags & Boots all laces tied & tagged, representing those who gave their ultimate measure in the battles in Afghanistan & Iraq. Sponsered by Stand Down. I wasn't worried about Rules of Thirds, Tens or 20's. This was just too emotional, all I wanted was pictures of this incredible site.

I might add that the circle of pairs of boots represent the soldiers from our state who have died. God Bless them all.

Great stuff, thank you!
May I also remind every American to honor our fallen heroes on Monday, 3:00 pm local time, with the Memorial Moment of Silence.
To our non-American friends, let me repeat what former Secretary of State Colin Powell said:

Colin Powell wrote:
"We have gone forth from our shores repeatedly over the last hundred years and we’ve done this as recently as the last year in Afghanistan and put wonderful young men and women at risk, many of whom have lost their lives, and we have asked for nothing except enough ground to bury them in."

A very touching tribute. Thanks for bringing us along to see this, and remind us we can't take our freedom for granted. Good people die for it.

WOW!! thanks for sharing this tribute to our fallen. As a wife of a retired Air Force Vet these tributes mean a great deal. And, I agree Freedom isn't Free.

Hi, nice set and a lot to think about. Sad we must have these places.I spent some time near there back in 1971 when I got on the USS Wasp at Quansit Point.Thanks for everything.
