Joe Spector replaces some of the more than 1,200 U.S. flags that
the wind had knocked over Wednesday in the front yard of his
Overland Park home. Spector says he has placed one flag in his yard
for each U.S. soldier killed in the war in Iraq. He decided to
display the flags instead of holiday lights on his house. As of
Wednesday, at least 1,303 members of the U.S. military had died
since the beginning of the Iraq war in March 2003, according to an
Associated Press count.
