Every Fall the students at the University of Colorado honor those Americans and Iraqis lost to the current conflict in Iraq by planting flags on many of the quads. The red flags are for US soldiers lost, and the white flags are for Iraqis lost. When they started several years ago, each flag represented one person. Now each red flag represents two US soldiers, and each white flag represents five Iraqis. This is one of the many fields on campus blanketed with flags.
