War Awareness Idea -- 1,500 things (anyone can do it!)

[CornField]

I think we need to make displays in public spaces all over the U.S. -- 1,500 things.

For instance, take a poster board and glue 1,500 shirt buttons on it (various sizes & colors).
Header: "Here are 1,500 buttons"
Footer: "Less than the number of American men and women who have given their lives fighting in the Iraq war"

Or maybe a jar/jug filled with 1,500 of something... still less than the number of American men & women who have lost their lives in the Iraq war.

Other ideas:
* Boots on large lawns
* Tombstones (with each name)
* Helmets
* Small flags
* Crosses
* Push pins
* Paperclips
* Pennies
* Gloves
* Hearts

You get the idea.

1. Yeah, just change it to 1800 - still fewer than US dead in Bush's

rape of Iraq. Soon it will have to be 1900, then 2000, and so on, and so on...
