The Middle East Conflicts Wall Memorial is located at 200 Riverfront Drive in Marseilles, Illinois. The memorial was built to honor those who have fallen from 1979-the present. The names of the soldiers that have been killed in action are etched in granite slabs immediately following Memorial Day, yearly.

As of 2014 there are about 6900 names etched on the panels. The work has been financed with private donations and volunteers provide the labor. The wall was started by members of what is now known as the Chicago-based Illinois Motorcycle Freedom Run to show respect and honor those who have died in conflicts. The site chosen, donated, and agreed upon is directly next to the Illinois River.
