A Park For Remembering Sacrifice | Lubbock News
Description
In Lockney, Texas, a powerful new memorial park honors fallen service members with flags, benches, and a striking painted torpedo — all built on an empty lot to remind visitors of the true cost of freedom. Inspired by 9/11, the Hunter-Peralez Memorial Park, maintained by the local American Legion, features rows of crosses bearing names from World War One to present day. Named after Staff Sgt. Wesley Hunter and Sgt. Johnny Peralez Jr., who died in Iraq, the park uses plaques to share their stories — ensuring sacrifice isn’t forgotten. It’s a quiet, reflective space open to all, designed to keep the legacy of service alive in a world where it’s too often overlooked.
