Several people deserve special mention for the effort they put forth for the memorial: This is not a complete list of all who have volunteered and supported the memorial. A list of donors can be found at the Book of Remembrance and the list of Major Donors, elsewhere on this web site.
Terry Throndson, who served during the Vietnam War, not only supported the memorial by sponsoring a bench and furnishing fuel for heat, he also has stepped in to help Wayne Stillman on various events, including the special Veteran’s Day Section. He was also instrumental in the “Support Our Troops Rally’s” that were held at the memorial.
Lyle Lubahn, a member of the Korean War Veterans Club spent countless hours at the memorial assisting with sorting, installing, and cleaning the pavers. At other times he was always available to help whenever asked. Many others from the club volunteered their help at various times.
Jeff Anderson, of Anderson’s Memorial, was selected in April 1997 to be the vendor and artist engraver for the memorial.
He attended many meetings and has used his talent and expertise to make this memorial one of the finest in the country. Jeff worked closely with Bob DeWitz, who oversaw the construction, Leslie McGillivray, the designer of the memorial, myself and other members of the committee to complete this outstanding memorial.
