Warriors Walk

Here on this base we are at, they have a wonderful memorial for soldiers who have been killed while in Iraq. There is a website called Wreaths 4 wounded warriors. In December they lay wreaths on all the trees. Here is a link where you can go and see what it looks like www.w4ww.org

Here is also a little back ground on the memorial site.

Warriors Walk was started in 2003 during Operation Iraqi Freedom. When a soldier assigned or attached to the 3d Infantry Division was killed in action, a tree was planted in their honor along Warriors Walk. Since that first deployment the 3d Infantry Division has been deployed to Iraq 3 times. Each month, a ceremony is held to dedicate the trees of the fallen soldiers for that month. As of October 2008 there were 417 trees planted along Warriors Walk. If you have never been to this hallowed ground, you should come and walk among the trees, read the names and see the mementoes that family and friends have left in remembrance of their loved ones who have made the ultimate sacrifice. Our goal is to honor the sacrifice of the soldiers and their families.
