The DUmmies call it "Arlington West". It's a publicity stunt and not a real tribute.

Do the people that put it up call it that? I don't really care what the DUers call it.

You nailed it. They've got "Arlington West" -- white crosses on Santa Barbara and Santa Monica, California beaches -- complete with flag-draped "coffin" and of course, a big sign with the body count of soldiers killed in Iraq (and Afghanistan?). They have displays of photos of wounded soldiers (wonder if permission was given?)

Anyway, it's a desecration of a real sacred site called Arlington National Cemetery and a trivialization of our fallen heroes for the sake of THEIR bankrupt politics, the "brainchild" of Veterans for Peace. It's time we did something about these "Arlington Wests."

The so-called marine goon is most likely on the board of directors of VFP.
