Coming from a military family, I had a strong patriotism instilled in me. Therefore, I have great admiration and respect for the memorials that have been erected in honor of those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for the freedoms that we enjoy in this country. This particular memorial is fairly new, having been dedicated on October 6th, 2012. For more information regarding this memorial, you can visit www.fallenwarriorstexas.org.

There are no visiting time limitations for the memorial, so night caching is perfectly fine. You will quickly and easily find the information that you need to solve this simple field puzzle, but please don’t let the gathering of answers distract you from the meaning behind this memorial. Freedom isn’t free. Some people paid for our freedom with their lives.
