DENVER, CO - AUGUST 7: American Muslim Ahmad Ghais, holds up a picture of his brother Taher Ghais who died in action April 4th, 1968 while fighting in Vietnam for America at Fort Logan National Cemetery on August 7, 2016 in Denver, Colorado. Mike Sexton, from Highlands Ranch, decided to put flowers on the gravestones of American Muslims who served our country in uniform and lost their lives to honor them. This was sparked as a protest against the vilification of the family of fallen American hero Captain Humayun Khan by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. Sexton asked that if you could not find the grave of a Muslim-American then place a flower on the grave of someone different than you in some way; someone of a different faith or ancestry. Because Fort Logan only allows flags to be placed on graves on Memorial day, those who attended mark the graves with flowers, rocks, and colorful glass stones. About 50 people turned out for the event. (Photo by Helen H. Richardson/The Denver Post)
