Unveiling November 4th in Missoula!
GNM is unveiling our Fallen Soldier Memorial on UM’s main campus late afternoon November 4th. The five larger-than-life bronze statues will be a source of hope, patriotism and pride for generations to come.
The name, branch, rank, dates lived and home town of our Montana soldiers who have given their lives for our country in Iraq and Afghanistan will be featured in recessed granite markers surrounding the Memorial. The list of soldiers can be found here.
To view additional pictures of the Memorial statues under construction by Lincoln, MT native Rick Rowley, visit the GNM Facebook page.
There are numerous other veteran/military-related activities surrounding this event as well as the UM Griz Military Appreciation football game on Saturady. It will be the largest weekend-long tribute to our military in Montana history.
Everyone is welcome, so please come to pay tribute to our military and the sacrifice of our soldiers.
