Gold ribbons represent those who lost their lives. Attached to each is a dog tag. Blue ribbons represent praying for peace for the people of Afghanistan and Iraq. Green ribbons represent prayers for peace. The memorial makes a very public statement on the church's front lawn. It's similar to one in New York City. Army Captain Brooks Askew is a member of the church and is grateful to have the reminder of military sacrifices. "We've been at this for 10 years now and a lot of people have grown cold to the fact that men and women are still dying. Stuff like this actually makes it more real."
