Merle Peterson joined the committee in July 1998.
His talent has been extremely valuable to the memorial. He sorted, transported and helped lay all of the pavers at the site. He lined up help from the Korean War Club to help him clean the memorial during construction and to transport and set up seating at various programs at the memorial.
Merle, (Pete), was part of the committee that wrote and edited the stories that are engraved on the inside walls.
Pete worked with Lee and Stillman to keep the Veterans Day Section going, which also turned out to be a great fund raiser.
Pete is a go-to-guy if anything needs to be transported, delivered, built, or anything else he is capable of doing. He has been tremendously valuable to the memorial.
He is also involved in giving tours at the memorial and has done so many times.
