Arlington West DVD video project
Another great resource for teachers, students and peace activists. A wonderful documentary on an important veterans-based memorial installation that appears every Sunday by Santa Monica pier, Arlington West. This is a film by videographers Peter Dudar and Sally Marr on the extension of Arlington National Cemetery to the West Coast.
Riveting interviews of veteran's histories and experiences.

Great film to show to students. Lesson plans are available here.
Help is needed every Sunday and is very much needed to keep this memorial going
~The Arlington West Memorial is just next to the pier in Santa Monica
~Setup starts at 7:30 AM and goes till about 9:30 or 10:00 AM ~Take down starts about 6:00 PM
~ The Arlington West Memorial Project in Santa Monica on the beach, just north of the Santa Monica Pier. Well over 1,600 crosses honor US soldiers killed in Iraq, plus recognition that Iraqi deaths would fill up the whole beach. Volunteers needed! This is becoming a gigantic effort! This very moving, nonpartisan memorial is put on by the Los Angeles Chapter of Veterans For Peace. VFP plans to do this every Sunday until the United States pulls the troops out of Iraq. But we won’t be able to continue unless more people show up to help on Sundays. Go here for more info.
