I'm thinking that perhaps you have misunderstood who planted the crosses on that hill. It is the moonbats who put them there as a protest of the War on Terror. They are not there to memorialize our fallen soldiers but to use our fallen soldiers as pawns in a political statement. Those crosses do not honor our dead heros, they insult them.
Point taken. Until today I was unaware of the motive for the memorial, and have passed it many times on the freeway. I thought it was a beautiful but solemn visual image, and appreciated that someone cared enough about the troops to put it up, but now that you've put it in context I'll reconsider. Much of this county was Pombo's district until recently, and I didn't think a memorial with any overt political message could have been erected here, but I just moved here.
