Brian Slavenas killed in Iraq on November 2; Paul Vogel, father of Army
reservist Aaron Vogel currently serving in Iraq; Barry Romo, National

In addition to the 500 army boots laid out in regiment formation, a 30-foot
long memorial wall will display the names, ages and states of those U.S.
service members killed in Iraq.  The memorial will be displayed from 11 AM -
