Bob Gildner from northern Delaware county has been protesting the war in Iraq for years. In an effort to give people a mental image of how many soldiers have been killed in this war, Bob has painted a blood red star on his property for every life lost.
"I started painting stars on my barn last summer," he said. There are 1,660 blue stars on the white 45-by-60 pole barn with "WMD?" (weapons of mass destruction) painted at the top of the barn. The front of the barn was filled with stars, so Gildner started making signs for his yard and painting stars on them. He has 33 signs, placed like tombstones in his yard, each with 26 "blood-red" stars on it. And he's not done yet.
