2977 Flags
« on: September 16, 2016, 10:26:11 PM »
Pictures can't reflect the impact of seeing 2977 flags flying in the field in front of the Kennesaw Mountain Visitor Center.  Below are a couple images I took from my car driving past the field with Kennesaw Mountain in the background.  The visitors center is straight behind the cannon and flags. What I show in my two images is a bit less than half the field.  The field seems to go on forever as a sea of red, white and blue.  It is so sad to think that each one represents a life lost in just a very short period as a result of hate.  They do this each year and each year when I see it for the first time it is impactful.
