In honor of Memorial Day, Arlington West will be up all weekend long by the Santa Monica Pier. A project of Veterans for Peace, Arlington West is an installation in the sand of hundreds of crosses memorializing the military personnel and civilians who have died in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Usually the temporary memorial is installed and open from sunrise to sunset on sundays. This week, it will be open from Saturday morning through late afternoon Monday. From 12:30 to 3:00 pm Sunday, there will be a speaker's program, broadcast live on KPFK 90.7 FM.
