On Saturday, August 4, 2012 we are dedicating a newly engraved section of The Ohio Veterans' Memorial Wall. This section of the wall will contain the 304 names (to date) of those Ohioans who have given all in The Wars On Terrorism. Including...

The Beirut Bombing, The Persian Gulf War, Iraq and Afghanistan.

Please join us in honoring these brave young men and women. There are many ways that you can help.

In addition to the dedication we have a full day of events planned to show
our appreciation to our Heroes and their families.


Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of Army PFC Jeffrey L. Rice. PFC Rice died on July 19, 2012 of unspecified causes in Kandahar, Afghanistan. He was assigned to the 20th Engineer Battalion, 36th Engineer Brigade out of Ft Hood, Texas.

HOW YOU CAN HELP

We need your help to make this dedication happen. Our Heroes and their families deserve to be honored for their sacrifices. Unfortunately, like everything else, it costs money to complete and maintain this park. The cost to have the names of our Heroes from the Wars On Terrorism engraved on the wall is roughly $ 17,000.00 plus the expenses associated with the concert, car show and run. We receive no public funding. The park has been built on private donations from individuals, companies and organizations who treasure our freedom and safety. If you would like to assist us with this dedication, there are many options available...

CONCERT TICKETS

You can purchase your concert tickets on-line, at the park or on the day of the event. The tickets are $ 10.00 each. Each ticket purchase automatically enters you into a $ 500.00 raffle.
