According to the memorials Facebook page, it's mission is:

... to honor the memory of the men and women from Texas that paid the ultimate price for our freedoms in the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. It is our responsibility to make sure that people understand the terrible price that is paid by those people that volunteer to serve us in the military.
