What was this commemorating? Was it 9-11, was in Afghanistan, Iraq? Veterans Day? If we knew, then it would be more powerful.

Thanks for your question, Megan. Each cross represents military personnel who've lost their lives in the US war and occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan. I just added this info to the description. Thanks again for inquiring further...
