The Boone County Freedom Rock was planted as an ode to the nation's veterans.
The Boone City Parks Foundation, which is an NGO, is working to build on this icon and have it applaud every branch of the military, according to Boone Republican News.
“It not only honors our veterans who served but also their families and all of Boone County who supported them when our country called,” said city council member Greg Piklapp.
This project is being run completely on outside funding and grants. The designers at the helm of this project are making it into a landscape that will be a sight for sore eyes.
The goal of the organization is to have this project completed in time for Veterans Day so that the fallen can be properly honored.
“We hope to do a ceremony on Veteran’s Day — Nov. 11 — to dedicate the rock and the landscaping,” project coordinator Fred Greiner said.
