WARSAW – The Freedom’s Never Free event may have been held in Lancaster Nov. 1-4, but it actually started out right here in Coshocton County.
The event’s Tribute to Valor Traveling Small Wars & Conflicts Memorial was escorted by Ohio Patriot Guard Riders on Nov. 1 from Killbuck Creek Distillery to the Fairfield County Fairgrounds in Lancaster to start off four days of activities honoring veterans.
Dianne Boggs, treasurer of the organization, helped Jeannie Ignash, president of the group, create this year’s memorial that honors every soldier who died during small wars or conflicts post Vietnam up to 9-11.
“We hand stamped their names and with every letter of their names I thought about their sacrifices,” Boggs said.
Ignash said the starting point for the memorial’s journey was selected by the Ohio Patriot Guard Riders.
“I leave it up to them for the route,” she said. “They do an amazing job.”
Ray Schwabe is the district five captain for the Central Ohio Patriot Guard and was part of the escort on Nov. 1.
“I’m a Navy veteran and a motorcycle guy so this is my way to give back,” he said.
Larry Turner who owns Killbuck Creek Distillery with Rob Ashcraft said he was humbled their business was chosen as the starting point for the escort.
