The Eyes of Freedom Memorial: The Story of Lima Company



by Anita Miller
I just learned from PMF president Pat Frizzell that Las Positas College in Livermore will host the traveling Memorial "Eyes of Freedom" from April 29-May 3rd. This Memorial, in honor of the Lima Company Marines killed in Iraq during 2005, came to be from a dream in the middle of the night by one American woman who wanted to honor the fallen. 

Today, many have joined her side to make the beautiful tribute possible.

You can watch the official video about the dream, the memorial and Lima Company here


They have a beautiful website as well. www.limacompanymemorial.org
