Memorial Day marks a time to reflect, remember, and honor those who fought and died for our freedom. A Brevard based project is looking to do just that -- focusing on the men and women who have been killed in the War on Terror.

The Satellite Beach project "Remembering Our Heroes" is ramping up support to honor each one of the soldiers and their sacrifice. Cocoa Beach resident Jeanne Weaver, who lost her son in Afghanistan, is on the list to receive a display made in her son's memory.

"They were on a night time maneuver, and he was killed by an IED," Jeanne recalls.

Todd Weaver, 26, was an army lieutenant who died in Afghanistan on Sept. 9, 2010, while leading his platoon on a mission. He left behind a wife and baby daughter, and for his mother, a legacy.

"He was very patriotic," Jeanne said. "He believed in what he was doing."

Weaver is just one of the nearly 7,000 U.S. soldiers who died in Iraq and Afghanistan. Floyd (Rick) Beech, who founded the project in 2008, is an Air Force veteran himself. Beech served for 20 years at Patrick Air Force Base including Pakistan, Iraq and Afghanistan. He has lost both friends and colleagues.

"We didn't want these two conflicts to be forgotten, and we thought it would be in the best interest of all involved to reach out to the families that there are caring and patriotic individuals," Beech said.

Each memorial display case will hold 7 polished rifle casings, a medallion, and nameplate. Seven bullets in the front symbolize the seven riflemen who perform the 21 gun salute at military funerals.

"The medallion at the top is what I designed, it simply says 'A Fallen Hero Remembered,'" Beech said.

The personalized plate will also include an engraving of the military members' name, rank, branch of service and the war they served in when they were killed in combat. The display case will be presented at a ceremony as a tribute, according to the project's website. The goal is to make one of these displays for as many fallen soldiers' families who want one.

"I will support anyone who is out there remembering and honoring the fallen," Jeanne said.

The entire project is estimated to cost some 360-thousand dollars with each display running in the 300-dollar range. They hope to begin production early next year.
