Yesterday, The Eyes of Freedom: The Lima Company Memorial left after its week-long tour in Anchorage. TOTE was honored to support Odyssey Logistics and Carlile Transportation in delivering the EOF traveling museum for its first visit to the Last Frontier. In the Spring of 2005, “L”-Co. or Lima Company was deployed to Iraq. Twenty-two Marines and one Navy Corpsman were killed in action between May and August of that year. Eyes of Freedom was founded to memorialize those fallen soldiers and has visited the hometown of each servicemember lost, which now includes Marine LCpl Grant Fraser who graduated from Service High School in Anchorage, AK. Family, friends, and community members were able to see the exhibits free of charge during their run at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson JBER (official), Service High School, and University of Alaska Anchorage. #NeverForget #LogisticsforGood
