Operation Desert Storm was the successful United States and allied forces response to this invasion. It lasted from January 17 to February 28, 1991, resulting in the liberation of Kuwait., Operation Enduring Freedom is the official name used by the United States government to describe operations in Afghanistan following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. The U.S. linked these terrorist attacks to Al Qaeda, a group that operated under the Taliban regime's protection in Afghanistan. Operation Enduring Freedom lasted from October 2001 to December 2014., Operation Iraqi Freedom was a United States mission designed to disarm Iraq of weapons of mass destruction, to end the regime of Iraq's dictator Saddam Hussein and his support of terrorism, and to free the Iraqi people from his rule. Saddam Hussein's regime was toppled and the Iraqi people were freed to create a government of their own making. Operation Iraqi freedom lasted from March 2003 to December 2011., This asymmetrical granite stone, earthen in color, recalls the desert contours and rugged terrain of Southwestern Asia. Etched with the names of Baltimore County citizens who made the ultimate sacrifice, the stone is an enduring tribute to all those who served in these operations.
