Southwest Asia Memorial Wall
On the banks of the Illinois River in Marseilles, IL, they created a memorial wall for those who paid the ultimate price in the "middle east conflicts while keeping America free." It is the only memorial wall I am aware of memorializing the servicemen and servicewomen who gave their lives in the Middle East conflicts.
