But when Jessica Pettit, a UA student who helped organize the event, referred to soldiers as "death machines," the family turned and left.
The event is not intended to be political or moral, Pettit said.
"I don't want to bring morality into it. . . . It's not about morality or politics," she said.
She called the display a "tiny dose" of reality that can help others understand the cost of the war.
