Dear Service Community, Parents, Staff, Administration and Students;

This exhibit will be on display at Service High School (5577 Abbott Road) from July 22-24, 2024 to honor and remember fallen hero LCpl Grant Fraser, who graduated from Service and the Marine Forces Reserve’s 4th Reserve Reconnaissance Battalion.
LCpl Grant Fraser was attached to Lima Company through the Marine Forces Reserve 4th Reconnaissance Battalion, 4th Marine Division. Fraser died on August 3rd, 2005 while serving combat operations in Haditha, Iraq.

We welcome all students, faculty, and community members to honor LCpl Grant Fraser and all who have made the ultimate sacrifice.
The Eyes Of Freedom functions as a traveling memorial across the United States, dedicated to honoring the service and sacrifice of all who answer our nation's call, ensuring that those who gave the ultimate sacrifice are never forgotten. Silent Battle, a sculpture by Anita Miller, was created after witnessing firsthand the struggles of our returning combat veterans coping with post-traumatic stress and the loss of their brothers and sisters in combat and at home. Silent Battle initiates the tough conversations about veteran PTS to support our veterans and make sure their voices are heard.
The Eyes of Freedom memorial exhibit with the portrait of Grant Fraser will be on display in a total of three locations (JBER Air Show, Service High School, UAA - Alaska Airlines Center).
