I was referred to this site by a Free Republic poster named Wingrider. Motorcyclists from Illinois, the Illinois Freedom Run, have raised money and built a memorial in Marseilles, IL, not far from I-80, the nation's most travelled interstate. The memorial honors all American troops who've give their lives in all the Middle Eastern conflicts since 1980.
In addition to the Marseilles memorial, the Illinois Freedom Run has been placing small memorials throughout the state on various highways. They hope to do something by this May for the Paris, IL based National Guard Unit, the 1544th Transportation Co. (blogged about here), a group the suffered heavy losses in Iraq.
Here is their site.
