Similar memorials In September 2003, a similar display of ninety white crosses laid out in a military configuration and in the shape of a cross was created by American artist Scott Hemeon and included as one of the art installations for Project One's annual Wind/Sea/Sky beach sculpture exhibition on Easton's Beach in Newport, Rhode Island. This installation, entitled CrossCurrents, predated Arlington West by several months. First created in 2003, the Lafayette hillside memorial, which overlooks a busy highway in Lafayette, California (near Oakland), has generated considerable controversy since November 2006, when it was expanded and a large sign was added.
