The Chicago Printmakers Collaborative's Facade Project is in my neighborhood. Each window in this building is covered with images of faces of soldiers who died in Iraq. Unfortunately, it's hard to see from the street, but you can get a good view from the train platform. Their faces remind us of the war happening now, not 40 years ago. And their youth reminds us that it's more than a war of words.

It's a striking, sobering sight.
