Larry's dad, brothers, uncles and friends are among those who served our country. This memorial in Lubbock, Texas is a tribute to them and the other men and women who served. It represents those who have a connection to the Lubbock and South Plains area. It is composed of individual bricks engraved with names and other information about their service.
We visited the Memorial around dusk and the sunset, reflections, shadows of the pillars, and then the lights gave heart-touching impact to the magnitude of such bravery. The sacrifices made by these individuals to keep our country free is meaningfully honored at this Memorial. Throughout the Memorial are engraved quotes. If you get the chance to visit, take time to read them - my favorite was a quote from Elmer Davis: "This will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave".
