This 'Arlington Memorial' tribute was spearheaded by Summer Lipford, an Iredell County mother whose son, Army PFC Steven Sirko, died in 2005 while serving in Iraq. And was erected in Mac Anderson Park in Statesville NC, not far from where Steve was laid to rest at Statesville's Oakwood Cemetery.
The tributes intent is a visual, of 'Honor', to those who have fallen, the sheer number already. To also bring to ones mind the families left behind and the many innocents of the countries of both theaters of operation! Those who are Truely Sacrificing!
The first song is by Eric Lynn and called 'Just Like 1984'.
The second song is by a new friend and a Veteran Tom Chelston called 'I Miss You'.
