Eli Whitney Students Honor Fallen Soldiers

They create a moving visual display of patriotism in front of the school.


It's one of those cases when a photo tells the story better than words.

The students at made more than 1,000 poppies -- double the number from last year -- and displayed them in front of the building as a tribute to fallen U.S. soldiers this Memorial Day.

Kerstin Fairbend, the mother of one of the students, scored this pic and shared it with Stratford Patch. If you're doing something special to honor soldiers who gave the ultimate sacrifice, take a pic and share it with the community by uploading it to this gallery.
