While we were in Boston exploring the Freedom Trail we came across this memorial that was in a church courtyard.
This is a memorial made of dog tags to honor those who lost their lives.
The sign on the right reads
" This memorial garden is to honor the men and women in the armed forces and the civilians who have lost their lives in the Afghanistan and Iraq wars. We pray for all the victims of war. May their souls and the souls of all the departed rest in peace."
A close up of what was in the planter.
Honoring both military and civilians.
