Boots on the Ground for Heroes Memorial

Posted by allocc

In 2016, OSDRI launched the Boots on the Ground for Heroes Memorial with the widely acclaimed and dramatic display of nearly 7,000 military boots. Each boot is adorned with a name placard and an American flag representing each American service member killed in action in the Global War on Terror. The first of its kind, the display garnered local and national news coverage for the past two years and sadly, the memorial continues to grow each year.

The memorial opens to the public at 9am Friday May 25th after the RI boots have been set in place.

The memorial will remain open Friday May 25th - Monday May 28th.
