OH5 - Lima | Veterans Freedom Flag Monument

MM - Test Map

Description: Veterans Freedom Flag Monument 1161 Buckeye Rd. Lima, Ohio Access: 24/7 Dedicated to the men and women who have served to protect our freedom by UAW Local 2075 Veterans Committee and dedicated May 22 2010. To recreate the American Flag, the monument is made of five twenty-foot pillars of tiles. Each red, white or blue tile called a "brick plate" is engraved with the name of a veteran, current service person, or someone just wanting to say thanks to our veterans for their freedom. The five columns represent the five branches of the Armed Forces: Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force and Coast Guard. The five pine trees behind the monument also represent our ever-ready Armed Forces. There are 64 boulders in the monument landscape representing the 64 wars and conflicts in which The United States has been involved and our brave service members have served. There are small amounts of soil collected from the major battlefields of the 64 wars and conflicts buried at the monument site. Note: not all soil has been collected. The wars in which America has fought in Europe are represented by the small field of poppies. There are tall grasses in the landscape representing the jungle wars that America has fought. The location of the POW flag flying near the monument symbolizes that although not within our reach, these brave men and women are always in our thoughts and hearts. THEY WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. Made in America: Nearby, is the Allen County Historical Society and Museum, housing an impressive collection of antique motorized and non-motorized vehicles, a Shay Locomotive, and a remarkable 1908 THOR Motorcycle. https://bit.ly/3oXikd4 Instructions: Take a photo similar to the one attached, with rider flag and motorcycle.
