very emotional memorial, “Remembering Our Fallen,” is a stark reminder of the ultimate sacrifice made by 156 Fallen from Missouri killed in The War on Terror while wearing our country’s uniform in a war zone. The photo memorial, which includes military and personal photos of each of Missouri Fallen, is traveling throughout the state and will be coming to the Azalea Festival.

“Remembering Our Fallen” will be on display 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., Friday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday, noon to 5 p.m., Sunday, in the Sonderman building located on the court square. The memorial will be free of charge due to the local sponsorship of New Era Bank, Dockins Broadcast Group, and Green’s Flea Market.

“We must remember these American Heroes and speak their names when we

see their family members. We can never forget those who sacrificed everything for our freedom,” said Bill Williams, co-creator of the memorial. “While this memorial is about those who have died, it was created for the living…to help the families in their grief, while reminding the rest of us of the terrible price paid for our freedom by our current generation of military.”

This memorial, and 18 other state memorials representing 60 percent of our country’s Fallen since 9/11/01, have been created by Patriotic Productions, a non-profit organization headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska. The financial sponsor of the memorial is Bellevue University, a private, non-profit University in Bellevue, Nebraska. The goal is to complete a national traveling memorial that will include all of our country’s Fallen from The War on Terror. More information at: RememberingOurFallen.org or PatrioticProductions.org.
