Fallen Soldier Tribute

A tribute to fallen soldiers has covered a church's green grass with a sea of red, white and blue.

A member of the Unitarian Universalist Church in Rockledge created the display to honor fallen soldiers. Church members put up well over 3,000 stakes with red white and blue.

The artist who created the display said the display contains the names of every American soldier killed in Iraq and Afghanistan.

“It really brings it into focus what 3,000, over 3,000 fallen soldiers are,” Suzanne Frank said.

Frank said her grandson served in Afghanistan and returned home safely, but she wanted to honor everyone who didn't. 

Memorial Day services at the display are being held Saturday.
