MANSFIELD, MA — A memorial to the heroes of the war on terror is in Mansfield this week. An American flag made up of thousands of dog tags from those who died is being displayed at the police and fire complex.

“Freedom isn’t free. They were all comrades in arms. They didn’t care at all what the guy next to them was in terms of race, religion, ethnicity, color. Didn’t matter,” said Paul Monti of Raynham.

A humbling display of service and the ultimate sacrifice. The Fallen Heroes Memorial has arrived in Mansfield, honoring the lives of brave men and women who gave everything in the Global War on Terror.
