I saw a story about this barn in my local newspaper, and then a few weeks later my wife and I were in Marion, Ohio and we just happened to drive by the barn.
I don't remember if the man who lives here has a son in Iraq, I just remember reading that he was angry over the loss of so many American lives. He wanted to let his feelings out, so he began painting a star on his barn for every American soldier that lost his/her life in Iraq. Eventually, he covered his barn so he moved onto signs.
The barn says "WMD? One Star For Each Kid Killed"
I altered the contrast and color saturation here to try and bring out the red.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces.

We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
