In this mural, Lady Liberty cradles a dying soldier in her arms, remembering the sacrifices in life and death, made by so many to secure liberty for all.
284 faces of Crawford County, Ohio veterans were painted to look as though they were carved in the stone of the columns and back wall.
This mural was designed in the year 2000. Painting began in May 2001 and finished Nov. 2001. Mid-way through the project, the World Trade Centers were attacked on Sept. 11th. Eric put up a banner the day after that read, "Her torch still shines, Our flag still waves." This phrase was added to the original design, painted on the back arch, to serve as a memorial to this most recent attempt to steal our liberty and freedom.

Sorry for this vanity...but this masterpiece is so 'overwhelming' and inspirational, I wanted to share it with the FReeper family.
I believe it's titled, 'Liberty Remembers'.
God Bless our troops. (current and past)
BTW... going to the website, you'll find links that will give you close up details of the mral.

my wife and I said good-bye to her father Saturday, who on Dec.7, 1941 transported the wounded and the dead, perhaps rescuing thousands of other sailors from watery or flaming graves aboard ships.
I salute you, Dad, and know are reuniting with your fellow shipmates =-)
