Century High School, on the south side of Pocatello hosts this Field of Heroes each Memorial Day. They put up crosses on the soccer field - in view of the freeway - for each of the lives lost in Iraq and Afghanistan. We heard about it on the radio and wanted to see it - they set it up on Thursday and have a ceremony to take it down on Monday evening, Memorial Day weekend.
It is very emotional to see 6,793 crosses for each life lost - Dad and I both were touched deeply with the sadness and sorrow of so many families.
How blessed we are to have men like this one, and families behind them - keeping us free.
Such a beautiful setting for a temporary Memorial for brave men, and women.
