Remembering Service and Sacrifice
This Fourth of July take time to explore a piece of history in Keystone at the Lt. Baldomero Lopez Korean War Memorial at Ed Radice Park.
The Fourth of July conjures up images of fireworks, pride and reverly. But it's also a time when America reflects on the true sense of freedom -- something that continues to be at the forefront of the thousands of soldiers who have served this country.
Westchase Patch took some time to focus on one soldier in particular, to whom a memorial is built right in our neighborhood.
Looking for something new to do with the family? Head over to Ed Radice Complex and check out the memorial built for Baldomero Lopez, a Marine Corps first lieutenant during the Korean War, who recieved a Medal of Honor after he died smothering a hand grenade with his body during the Korean War.
