I took these pictures at the United Methodist Church in Cooperstown, NY. At first I thought it was a remembrance of 9/11. Then I thought it might honor the number of American servicemen and servicewomen killed in Iraq and Afghanistan. Then I realized it just might be an expression of patriotism and love of country.
Finally I realized that it doesn't matter; what it means is in the eyes of the beholder, and it means a lot to me.
