Like the image, question, why the different colored Crosses? #1689072

Sandy Driscoll level-classic June 16, 2017

Thanks for asking, Robert. The area is known as 'Arlington West'. These crosses are placed every Sunday on Santa Monica (CA) beach by the volunteers with Veterans for Peace. The red crosses each signify 10 dead American soldiers and the white signify one man or woman. You can read about it here. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2011001/Santa-Monica-Los-Angeles-beach-Arlington-West-crosses.html
