In this fully immersive experiential journey, visitors will walk in the footsteps of the men of Lima company from the Marine Reserve unit based out of Columbus, OH who suffered a fateful deployment in 2005. In this powerful exhibition, we learn about service and sacrifice through the Eyes of the men who paid the ultimate price, as well as all who surrounded them.

Through the eyes of their fellow Marines

How are the survivors doing? We hear from fellow combat Marines and servicemen & women who share their experience first hand. Listening to their stories brings us up to current day and helps us better understand the Veteran experience.

The entire exhibition is designed to give a deep and meaningful understanding about the Veteran Experience through the eyes of Lima Company and their community.

And their families

We feel the love and loss of the families as we learn about their story. The families of the fallen have generously shared their son's boots from their deployment as well as other personal mementos so the public can have a personal and intimate experience with their loved ones.

About Eyes of Freedom Immersive

The current Eyes of Freedom…

The Eyes of Freedom traveling memorial has been touring the country in both large and small venues since 2008, having exhibited in over 375 venues in 35 states to date. When the artist, Anita Miller unveiled her life size portrait installation of the fallen of Lima Company in the Ohio State Housen Rotunda, she had hopes that the memorial which she created with the help of all the families of the fallen would be a powerful and intimate reminder of the gift of service and sacrifice. It has become that and so much more. The work unites communities through honoring and educating about the personal gift we all receive when one decides to serve their country.

With the addition of Silent Battle, a life sized bronze sculpture in 2018, the issues of Veteran and survivor mental health is tenderly addressed.

Due to the increased demand of the Eyes of Freedom and with the upcoming 20th anniversary of the tragedy of Lima Company’s loses, the artist has received a new inspiration: to expand the exhibit into a powerful immersive transformative journey.
