Below is a gallery featuring a T-Wall Memorial that was painted by Soldiers, for Soldiers to honor the 4411 US Military Servicemembers killed in Operation Iraq Freedom (2003-2010). A final Twall was maintained to memorialize those killed during Operation New Dawn (67 total) until Camp Warrior was closed in 2011.
