It’s been 19 years since the Patriots Peace Memorial walls were put up to remember the military men and women who died while serving.

Each year, a new name gets put up giving families and friends a place to grieve for their loss. During this year’s Memorial Day, the grounds of the Patriots Peace Memorial played host for a ceremony honoring United States Army Sgt. First Class Michael Longest, of New Albany, Indiana. The Purple Heart recipient was undergoing pre-deployment active duty training at Fort Campbell in 2003, when he suffered a heart attack and died.
