Thornton Veterans Memorial News - August 16, 2007

 

Greetings to our supporters!  

 

The memorial project is moving ahead at a steady and deliberate pace and we
felt it was time to provide an update to everyone.  

 

cid:image002.gif at 01C6CD77.8CB321F0  "Coming Soon" Sign Unveiled; Keynote
Address Provided by Colorado Secretary of State Mike Coffman. This past
Wednesday, August 15, The Thornton Veterans Memorial Foundation conducted a
ceremony to unveil a "coming soon" sign at the memorial site. The sign,
located at the intersection of 108th Avenue and Garfield Street, will serve
as a highly visible reminder about the project to the community. 

 

The keynote address was provided by Secretary of State Mike Coffman who is
also Honorary Chairperson of the Thornton Veterans Memorial Foundation.
Secretary Coffman, a decorated combat veteran, served in the Army and the
Marines, twice volunteering to return to active duty; first in 1991 to serve
in the Persian Gulf War and again in 2006 to serve in Iraq and help that
country hold its first free elections.

 

You can read more about the event, see the photos and watch the news
coverage from channel 7 and channel 2 on our website at:

On Saturday, September 8th from 10:00am to 5:00pm, the city of Thornton will
host its annual Harvest Fest festival. We are pleased to announce that we
will have a tent set up to share information about the project with the
community. Please stop by and see the progress on the project.

7:00pm at the Thornton Civic Center.  Our meetings are usually held on the
first Monday of the month but due to the Labor Day holiday, September's
meeting will be postponed one week.  This project is a community project and
we wholeheartedly encourage anyone who is interested to attend to learn more
and if so inclined, to join us in helping to make the project a reality.  

cid:image002.gif at 01C6CD77.8CB321F0  Make a contribution or shop online! We
have setup an online donation system - contributions of any size are
appreciated! We also sell a wide variety of Thornton Veterans Memorial
merchandise, the proceeds of which all go for the memorial.  Also do not
forget the paver bricks!  These 4" X 8" and 8" X 8" paver bricks can be
purchased and engraved with a message from a citizen or veteran and will be
used to make up the walkways at the memorial. They will serve as a perpetual
reminder of how much the contributions of veterans meant to this country and
the city. These bricks are a great way to say thank you to our veterans.
With the holidays coming up, they are a great gift idea. To get started,
simply go to our website and click on the "Online Store" link.  We need your
support!
