War casualies exhibit in Hampton Roads

The American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) honored fallen US military personnel and the civilian casualties of war Wednesday with its traveling exhibition 'Eyes Wide Open: The Cost of War to Virginia.'

Weather moved the one-day exhibit from Town Point Park to under the covered pavilion at Nauticus.

The exhibit includes over 125 pairs of boots representing fallen servicemen and women from Virginia, and a visual representation of the Iraqi civilian casualties. The exhibit is part of AFSC's national Eyes Wide Open: The Human Cost of War network.

The American Friends Service Committee is a Quaker Organization that includes people of various faiths who are committed to social justice, peace, and humanitarian service.
