College of the Ozarks is an interesting private college in Missouri that we’ve visited before<\/a><\/strong>. It being Memorial Day in the USA today, I thought it would be appropriate to feature the college’s war memorials.<\/p>\n

Situated in a cluster at the periphery of the campus are several patriotic memorials that honor those who served and sacrificed to preserve American liberties.<\/p>\n

The Missouri Gold Star Families Memorial<\/strong> honors Gold Star Families — those who have lost a loved one in war.  A reminder that freedom is not free.<\/p>\n

<\/a>The gentleman above is on his way to serve his country but stops to honor his country’s flag waving in the breeze.<\/p>\n

This Korean War Memorial<\/strong> (above) depicts soldiers who have lost a brother in battle.  War is often deeply painful…<\/p>\n

The College of the Ozarks is home to the State of Missouri’s Vietnam Veterans Memorial<\/strong>.  The memorial honors the 1,410 men and women from the state who lost their lives in the Vietnam War.<\/p>\n

Not featured in this post but also part of this grouping is Global War on Terror Memorial and a 9\/11 Memorial<\/p>\n
