This beautiful memorial is a tribute to fallen patriots and as of Memorial Day 2012, 440 patriots have been enshrined here. As a name is added, a brick is removed and replaced with a personalized etched glass identifying the patriot, signifying our loss. The resulting void in an otherwise solid wall becomes a portal of light transforming the interior by day and radiating outward at night through each name as a reminder to celebrate daily the joy of freedom purchased and safeguarded by these brave men and women.

Despite its unique design incorporating an etched relief of an American flag on its north wall, the memorial lacked an actual American flag flying in silent tribute to those enshrined therein. Donations were made by the families of those memorialized here and in 2006, Old Glory started to proudly fly in the Ohio River breeze.

From the 2006 dedication, "May this universally recognized symbol of freedom and courage add dignity and respect to the truly unique memorial and may we all feel a sense of genuine national pride for those whose memories we honor."
