The temporary memorial is located at a civil war battlefield park near where I live. I expected it to be borring and kind of stupid, but it wasn't.

In a field about 10 acres in size approximately 3000 10 foot high flags are set up in neat rows. 1 flag for each person killed in the attack.

I don't quite know how to describe what I was feeling as I walked through the flags, it's an emotion that I have not felt before.
