Arlington Midwest


Arlington Midwest-

In a manner similar to permanent war

memorials, is a place to

mourn, reflect, contemplate, grieve, meditate;

to honor and acknowledge

those who've lost their lives;

and to reflect upon the costs of war.


Arlington Midwest-

Also is intended to draw public attention to,

and to open a discourse on the subject of

both military and civilian deaths

during the invasion and occupation of Iraq.

This traveling exhibit, meant to show the human cost of war and to honor the fallen U.S. service members of the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts, is built primarily of recycled materials and maintained by a volunteer workforce. Arlington Midwest includes a simulated tombstone with name, rank, age and home state for each fallen U.S. service member. If your organization is interested in hosting Arlington Midwest, please email Jeff.




September 19 through 24 Arlington Midwest was displayed at Grand Circus Park in Detroit Michigan right next to Comerica Park, the Detroit Tigers home stadium. This was the most complex setup to date and was observed by countless thousands of people. It's hard to capture the excepionalism of this setting in photos but we'll try.
