Here in New York, a father who lost his son in Iraq has brought his antiwar memorial to the U.S. Army recruiting center in Times Square. Carlos Arredondo’s son Alexander was killed in Najaf in August 2004. Carlos has driven across the country for more than a year with an empty coffin and a picture of his son’s open casket and funeral.

Carlos Arredondo: “This is a memorial. Some people call it a protest. I call it a memorial. From this memorial, they can take anything they need, they can process it in their own brains later on, and they can figure out what is the tremendous situation with the war.”
