These Christian crosses and Stars of David are symbolic, so of course no soldiers are actually buried here. Lafayette, California, is home to a hillside planted with over 4000 wooden and metal crosses.

Jeff Heaton, a building contractor in Lafayette, wanted to find a way to express his sorrow and appreciation for the huge number of soldiers who have lost their lives fighting two inexcusable and hideously cruel wars.

The wooden crosses are very impressive.
Really drives home the point. Back during the Gulf War, Iraq War or whatever the first instance of nonesense was called I saw an art project with pairs of empty combat boots lined up in formation, each representing a fallen soldier. Oh boy, did that really make an impact.
So very beautiful, so impactful. Hammers home the truth.
Peace
