Jerry Barnhart joined the committee in February 1997.
Jerry is a minister, a co-host of a Veterans TV program, and active in the American Legion. He has been at most of the programs held at the memorial and has taped them so there would be a visual record of the events for future generations. Through his TV program the activities and progress of the memorial have been publicized
If he was not involved in work or American Legion activities he was always there to help where he could, including attendance at the meetings. He and his wife, June, have worked many hours at several programs at, and for, the memorial.
His position as a minister guided us in prayer and devotion so we would not forget the help we have all received from God.
