Eyes of Freedom

About Eyes of Freedom

Our nonprofit honors those who answer our nation's call, both those who have died and those who have returned home, many with traumatic brain injuries and post-traumatic stress. We do these things through a nationally traveling Memorial comprised of life-sized paintings of the 21 members of Lima Company, an Ohio-based Marine reserve unit, and two associated Navy Corpsmen, all of whom died in Iraq in 2005. Soon a life-sized bronze sculpture, The Silent Battle, that depicts a service member grieving the loss of his buddies will be added. This Memorial has now (April 2017) visited 27 states and has been seen by over one million visitors. Testimonials indicates that it has a healing effect on many of those who see it, and, with the addition of The Silent Battle, it will speak to the needs of traumatized returning vets and their families as well as remembering those who made and continue to make the ultimate sacrifice for their country.
