Arlington West 6yrs.: Nov 3rd 2003 – Nov. 3rd 2009

November 3rd will be the sixth anniversary of the first installation of Arlington West on the beach. Veterans For Peace Chapter 54,  the Jim and Shirley Kennedy Chapter will set it up with friends on Sunday, November 1st and mark the sixth year that it has been installed on the first Sunday in November by citizens volunteering their time and talent to this community project to demonstrate the true cost of war.

It was set up weekly for five years but has been once monthly for the last year,  being the first Sunday of every month.

Citizens who wish to help the Veterans For Peace and friends with this effort should come between 7am and 9am for set up or at 3pm for takedown.  We set up Arlington West in fair weather only to protect the memorabilia left by families of the fallen.  Arlington West Santa Barbara was the original but has inspired similar displays across the USA.
