The Middle East Conflicts Wall Memorial, Illinois, United States
5.0 (33 reviews) Spent Ranking #2 in Marseilles Monuments & Statues
Beautiful site on the river, very moving experience.
We stumbled upon this memorial somewhat on accident while driving from central Illinois toward home in the SW Chicago suburbs. The onsite museum was closed for the night, but a caretaker was very informative and proud of the additions and improvements to the memorial. He also pointed out some of the moving personal mementos that the families of the fallen leave when they visit. The Illinois River rapids directly behind the memorial wall add to the serenity and solemnity of the site, but the sound of the river seems to remind you that life, indeed, does go on. I hope to go back soon to tour the museum.

Awesome! A must see!
19 America Legion Riders on 10 bikes visited last Sunday in June. We had heard about it, still was suprised at the beauty and peaceful site. Grandparents of a soldier killed in Afghanstan was us, we found and traced his name. We learned too late about the colored lights at night so make another trip this fall.
