The City Of Frankfort Host “Eyes of Freedom”

The powerful traveling exhibition, “Eyes of Freedom,” will be on display in Frankfort this week at Prairie Creek Park’s Encompass Event Center from July 2-5, 11 a.m.-7 p.m.

The “Eyes of Freedom” tribute opened in 2008 at the Ohio Statehouse Rotunda and now travels the country. In addition to 8 life-size oil paintings, a bronze sculpture, “Silent Battle,” serves as the exhibit centerpiece.

The tour honors the service and sacrifice of all who answer our nation’s call and portrays men of Lima Company 325, a Marine Reserve Unit based in Columbus, Ohio. The unit deployed to the Middle East, and in the summer of 2005, gave the ultimate sacrifice during the Iraq War.
