Fallen Heroes Wall Here Sept. 11-13

There are few things a nation can do more honorable than remembering its fallen heroes.

Thanks to Veterans & Athletes United and the Frank Huntzinger American Legion Post 45, that’s exactly what will be happening Sept. 11-13 when the Fallen Heroes Wall is on display.

The wall honors the more than 7,000 brave men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice during the U.S.’s war on terror.

“We hope to bring awareness of the heavy price paid for this flag and to keep our country free,” James Howard, Founder and President of VAU, said. “Behind each one of the 7,065 dog tags is a personal story of true heroism and selfless sacrifice. We hope our memorial provides an opportunity for visitors to honor, reflect and heal. To remember all those who gave their lives defending this great country in the war on terror.”

This is a major event and a great privilege to have locally. Be sure to mark Sept. 11-13 on the calendar and get out to visit the display.  There is also an interactive kiosk where visitors can research soldiers on the wall and view a photo and biography of each hero.
