Short film about Marine Corps veteran Anthony Marquez, and his quest to create a memorial for the 17 fellow Marines that his unit lost in Afghanistan. Anthony is doing this by carving with chainsaws a "Battlefield Cross," for every Gold Star family affected by that loss. He then hand delivers the carvings to the families. To some, this may just be folk art...to Anthony its his new mission in life, to honor the fallen. For more info on the work Anthony is doing: xviicarvings.com/#home-1
