Eyes Wide Open is the American Friends

War. It features a pair of boots honoring each U.S. military casualty, a field
of shoes and a Wall of Remembrance to memorialize the Iraqis killed in the
conflict, and more. (See

Creating Peace is a collaborative community
art project created by local artist Jeanne Friedel in memory of the lives lost

the people killed in Iraq. Adults & children are invited to creatively honor a
person who has died by selecting a sculpture to embellish.
