New!!! Enduring Freedom Message Board

Pictures from the Enduring Freedom Ground Breaking Ceremony

Enduring Freedom, A Tribute to Liberty was first suggested as a Liberty Garden by Keep America Beautiful to all its affiliates in 2002 as a tribute to those who perished in the attack of 9/11/2001.

Keep McLennan County Beautiful, a KAB affiliate, decided to expand the concept as a result of calls from Veterans asking if KMCB was going to recognize them and their contributions to freedom.

As a result, now underway, is the creation of “ENDURING FREEDOM, A Regional Tribute to Liberty”, with ground being broken on November 9, 2005. The Tribute will be constructed at the HOT Fairgrounds, on Lake Air Drive and will consist of wall sections that not only pay homage to those who lost their lives on 9/11, but will also pay tribute to our Law Enforcement Agencies, our regional Fire Departments and EMS personnel, and separate wall sections dedicated to our heroes, our veterans, of Operation Iraqi Freedom, Desert Storm, Persian Gulf, Panama, Lebanon & Grenada, the Vietnam War, The Korean War, World War II, World War I and Peace Keeping Missions.

Areas in the center of this tribute will have smaller walls and benches dedicated to our heroes who have made this memorial possible....our

major donors. Names of these donors will be listed on a wall, along with other recognitions of those who made this project possible. Additionally, the walkway will have bricks and granite pavers that may be purchased and engraved with someone’s name, thus creating the

Walk of Honor. At the center of the tribute will be located pieces of the Pentagon that were blown out when it was hit by a plane on 9/11. We are one of only 11 cities to receive these pieces of history.

Please join us as we honor the fallen with this tribute to freedom...“May the flights of angels sing thee to thy rest” and say thank you to our veterans who have sacrificed so much to guarantee our Enduring Freedom.

We will NEVER FORGET.
