  What is Eyes Wide Open Illinois? Eyes Wide Open is an exhibit created by the American Friends Service Committee in Chicago. It includes one hundred and one pairs of empty combat boots, each tagged with the name of an Illinois soldier who has died in the Iraq war. There will also be a memorial to the thousands of Iraqi civilians who have died during the conflict. Local religious organizations and community groups are working together to bring the exhibit to Champaign Urbana.
