The memorial consists of over 7,000 combat boots, symbolizing the U.S. service members who were killed in the Global War on Terror post 9/11. Each boot is accompanied by a tag bearing the name of a fallen soldier.

My dad's birthday falls on Memorial day this year. He was a 24 yr Navy Veteran who served on river patrol in Nam and also picked up Gemini 8. He passed on an Easter Sunday from lung cancer. Prayers and peace to all service members and their families.
