Arlington Midwest


Lucas County Courthouse 2008



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.


Arlington Midwest  displayed on the lawn of the Lucas County Courthouse March 18 thru 22 2008 highlighting the human cost of invading and occupying Iraq. This was part of a week of events marking five long years of this ongoing conflict.
