A one-of-a-kind exhibit will be in Independence next week in honor of Veterans Day.
The Eyes of Freedom is a unique exhibit dedicated to Lima Company, a unit deployed to Iraq in the spring of 2005. Between May and August of that year, 23 servicemen from that unit were killed in action. This is the first time the exhibit will be displayed in Kansas. Chris Mitchell, President of the SEK Veterans Provider Coalition says Eyes of Freedom will be on display at Memorial Hall in Independence beginning on Wednesday.
There will be an opening ceremony at Memorial Hall at 6pm on Wednesday. The exhibit will be available for viewing at the Civic Center from 9am to 7pm through Friday and from 9am to 4pm on Veterans Day on Saturday with a closing ceremony to follow at 4pm. Admission is free.
