Crosses on Memorial

[RONDAL]

What are peoples thoughts on the crosses marking soldiers lost in WWII on memorial drive near centre st bridge?

while i appreciate the idea, and am in no way knocking the tribute, i think the execution sucks.

it looks like it was just half assed, a few strings run in lines, and the crosses placed.

I think if they'd done something with the land and then placed the stuff there it might look a little better. It just looks like a bit of an eyesore, i dunno.

i've been to arlington national cemetary in the US which is enormous, and it LOOKS a lot better than what we chose to do.

They were there last year also. It's not meant to be a permanent installation.

I think the execution is just fine for what it's supposed to be. It lets us remember (or in the case of the younger members of Canada) learn about the sacrifices that were made for the freedoms that we take for granted.

From what I remember hearing on the news, it was all paid for by a single person as well.

Well it would have been a better use of taxpayers dollars then that stupid foot bridge but good on the person who did so.
