The memorial honors those who've died since September 11 in the War on Terror.

WIVB reports, "It’s a massive American flag, standing taller than a person and more than four times as wide. A Battlefield Cross stands in front. The traveling VAU Fallen Heroes Memorial is coming to Hyde Park in June. It’s a 28-foot long by 6-foot high U.S. flag made out of dog tags about 7,000 dog tags because that’s about how many have died since September 11 in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other conflicts."
