I saw a flag the wind had tattered / No one to care or think it mattered! / Wind torn and faded stripes were flapping / Pale stars upon dim blue were napping! / I wondered if a bugle blowing, / Would rouse our country to bestowing… / Upon our flag more true devotion; / And stir our hearts with real emotion! / Forgotten there, so bravely flying / A symbol worn, but never dying! / A challenge! to a nation sleeping / A loyal sentry, Watch is keeping!... / Edna R. Zunino

Produced on a cotton fabric flag, with a variety of mediums. I loosely sketched the eagle image with black ink, then painted in the whites, golds, and browns with acrylics. I really enjoy the transparent effect of the stripes and the implied texturing of the feathers. I could just envision the work, when coming across the small fabric flag, and I think the expressively produced alteration satisfied my envisioned concept. Produced in 2008. / -us1

In Flanders fields the poppies blow / Between the crosses, row on row, / That mark our place; and in the sky / The larks, still bravely singing, fly. / Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the dead. Short days ago / We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow / Loved, and were loved, and now we lie / In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: / To you from failing hands we throw / The torch; be yours to hold it high. / If ye break faith with us who die / We shall not sleep, though poppies grow / In Flanders fields. / This was the poem written by World War I Colonel John McCrae, a surgeon with Canada ’s First Brigade Artillery. It expressed McCrae’s grief over the “row on row” of graves of soldiers who had died on Flanders’ battlefields, located in a region of western Belgium and northern France. The poem presented a striking image of the bright red flowers blooming among the rows of white crosses and became a rallying cry to all who fought in the First World War. /

The Los Angeles National Cemetery, located across from what is now the VA Greater Los Angeles Health Care System, has grown to more than 114 acres since its late 19th century origins. The first interment dates to a few days prior to the May 22, 1889 dedication of the cemetery. In 1973, the cemetery was transferred from the then-Veterans Administration Medical Center to what was then the National Cemetery System. The Los Angeles National Cemetery opened as one of 11 facilities operated by the Veterans Administration, on lands shared with national veterans’ homes or asylums for disabled soldiers. The Pacific Branch of the National Homes for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers was established in 1887 on Santa Monica ranch lands donated by Senator John P. Jones and Arcadia B. de Baker. The following year, the site grew by an additional 200 acres; in 1890, 20 more acres were appended for use as a veterans’ cemetery. By this time, with more than 1,000 veterans in residence, a new hospital was erected in 1900. It was replaced in 1927 by Wadsworth Hospital, and a second facility, Brentwood Hospital, was also constructed in the 1920s. / Some of the built features are unusual, including an administration building-chapel, 1939-40, and the NCA’s only indoor columbarium, 1940-41, both built by the Works Progress Administration in a distinctive Spanish Revival style of stucco and tile. The original gatehouse and entrance gates have been removed. Two unusual canine burials distinguish Los Angeles National Cemetery, although this practice is prohibited today. Old Bonus, an adopted pet of residents in the soldiers’ home, and Blackout, a war dog wounded in the Pacific during World War II, are both buried here.

“Monument to Civil War Soldiers” was featured in the group Public Art This photo was taken in 2005 in the Los Angeles National Cemetery. It is a monument to Civil War Soldiers, which was erected in 1942. What looks like bad spots of grass, or simple holes in the grass (behind the statue), are actually flat gravestones on ground level.

Soldiers that fell during “The World War” as the memorial phrases it. I’ve always loved this particular memorial plot. The burials are on the side of a hill, with a monument and flag at the top, overlooking the stones, like he’s keeping watch on them. It’s particularly lovely after memorial day, when all the flags have been placed. Date: June 30, 2007 / Location: WWI Lot, Pine Grove Cemetery, Lynn, Massachusetts, USA / Photographer: FireLilyAMG/Allyssa L. Edwards Feedback always encouraged and appreciated. You may not use my artwork without my permission. If you’d like to use a piece, contact me and we’ll discuss how you can. / -

I took this photo at the funeral of my cousin Charlie, in January of 2008, at Fort Leavenworth National Cemetery in Leavenworth Kansas. Charlie was a family icon, and a true American Hero. He was a combat Marine veteran of WWII, Korea, and two tours of Viet Nam. He was a cousin to be proud of, an American to emulate.

First Memorial Day after my cousin was killed in Iraq when the helicopter he was riding in (on his way to the air base to come home for leave) was shot down. / First Leave his buddy had after returning himself. I took this picture very hurridly…it felt like I was doing something wrong…intruding on his grief even thought it was a perfect outward display of the grief I had inside me. It was such a private moment, how dare I thrust myslef into it? However, it was a powerful moment. I wanted to remember how he honored Dan, how he felt, how it made me hurt, how it made me proud, how it made me feel a little closer to my cousin. / I’m glad I took the shot. It isn’t the best color, angle, or framing, but it’s one of the most important shots I’ve ever taken. / It will always remind me…and him…of that sorrow.
