The line of red flags

Iranians women visit Iran-Iraq war (1980-1988) memorial site in Shalamcheh, a small village on the border with Iraq. This was the site of one of the bloodiest battles in human history where over 85,000 souls from both sides were killed.It is hard to imagine the fate of those who engaged in this battle. I saw pilgrims stepping on this land to pray for the departed.Red flags with the names of holy personalities have been raised across the border to symbolize the ideals of resistance and martyrdom.
