Eight painted panels set in an octagon will depict portraits of each of the 23 Fallen Marines of Lima 3/25.

In front of each portrait will be an ever living candle and appropriate sized  bronzed combat boots.

On the exterior of the octagonal Memorial, the panels will list the entire Lima 3/25 roster, as well as identify the portraits of the Fallen and their statistics.  A shelf at the bottom of the panel will allow for flowers or momentos to be left by the public.
