Book: "Liberty Remembers"

An old brick wall was reinforced with concrete block and transformed into a nationally recognized monument honoring veterans.

In this mural, Lady Liberty cradles a dying soldier in her arms, surrounded by the portraits of 284 veterans from Crawford County, Ohio.

The mural was almost completed when the tragedy of 9/11 occurred. Eric composed the phrase “Her torch still shines, our flag still waves,” which he added to the interior arch as a memorial to this event. A book was later published featuring all the veteran submissions for the mural.

“The more I look at ‘Liberty Remembers,’ the more amazed I am. What a deep, abiding American sentiment it represents. Many thanks from a Buckeye and a veteran far from home.”

“Both (Liberty Remembers and American Crossroads) murals bring visitors from all around the State of Ohio and even neighboring states. These murals have become a source of pride for our city and united the community in ways I never thought possible.”
