Writings On This Wall
"I want to say thank you to those whose names are written on the Wall of Honor. To those POWS AND MIAS, we will never stop till you are all accounted for.

As I stood at the wall tonight, I did not stand alone, as the souls of my brothers and sisters stood with me. We are all part of a War that was called a conflict, yet we did not really know what we were fighting for. All we knew was we were fighting for a country we love, respect and honor.

I flay my POW/MIA FLAG DAILY. I FLY IT SO OTHERS MAY KNOW OF THE SACRIFICE MADE IN THIS WAR. I cry tears of saddness for each and everyone of you that never made it home to see your loved ones. We do know one thing for sure, someday we will all again be reunited with Jesus Christ in Heaven. A new earth will be created where peace will reign forever and bloodshed will be no more.

Until then brothers, may your souls rest in peace. In Memory of Those Who Gave so Others May Live" - Ron Leininger


"Thank you for giving this community the opportunity to have such a great tribute to honor our fallen soldiers. As a parent of a active military member, I was so proud to attend this event." - Maribeth Bolcavage


"Awesome experience. Road in the escort and was over whelmed by all the support." - Marsha
