  • The memorial was co-designed by Vietnam veteran Tom Curry and local architect Mark Battista. Named after Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia, each of the gravestones resemble those erected in the various military cemeteries throughout the United States and are composed of papercrete. At the time of its dedication on November 15, 2007, the cemetery contained 367 tombstones, but has since been expanded with each fatality of a Texan soldier resulting in the placement of an additional tombstone. The memorial was established as a place for persons to remember both U.S. troops and the Iraqi civilians killed during the course of the Iraq War. The Veterans for Peace decided to use the representation of gravestones for the Texas fallen instead of crosses for all of the American fatalities for war in part due to the smaller pool of volunteer labor to create and maintain the memorial and in order to create a more personal space for those paying their respects.
