What a beautiful monument here in League City, Texas. Weighing 22,000 lbs. this granite tribute is eleven feet across and six feet high.

Police Chief Andrew Daniel has completed this noble project. Inspired at SPC Ray Joseph Hutchinson's funeral, Chief Daniel has brought a poignant and heartfelt reminder to all of us that Freedom comes at great price.

Included are the names of all the soldiers from League City, who were killed in action in all of the wars.
