On June 19th, 2004, The Illinois Motorcycle Freedom Run, NFP unveiled the Middle East Conflicts Wall Memorial in Marseilles, Illinois. The Middle East Conflicts Wall Memorial commemorates the servicemen and women who have lost their lives in worldwide conflicts since 1979. The project was built entirely with donated material and labor and continues to be updated and maintained entirely through volunteer efforts. The memorial is first of its kind, in the History of the United States, to give honor to our fallen by name while a conflict is ongoing. The names on the wall represent our fallen heroes from such diverse locations as Panama, Lebanon, the Balkans, Grenada, Somalia, Haiti, USS Cole, USS Stark, Terrorist attacks in Italy, Greece, Scotland, and the current conflicts in the Middle East.
