Photo by Margaret Brown Vega. An altar inside the San Xavier del Bac Mission. An army of saints and religious figurines surrounds the photos of U.S. soldiers at a prayer altar. Are these fallen soldiers? Or ar they soldiers currently in action? The construction of this altar using both military and religious elements makes explicit, in material form, the links between the two. Visitors light candles, say prayers, and have the opportunity to leave money in the donation can.
