A new exhibit is on display at the Boone County Health Department headquarters that honors those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

The “Remembering Our Fallen” photo exhibit is a stark reminder of the ultimate sacrifice made by more than 140 Missourians killed in the war on terror while wearing our country’s uniform in a war zone.

Veterans United Home Loans is sponsoring the photo display, which includes photos of each of Missouri’s fallen.

The exhibit is traveling across the state.

The photos will be on display in Columbia until February 8.
