Rod Lee joined the committee in October 1996 and has been one of the more active members. Whenever Rod was asked to do something or whenever a volunteer was needed Rod was right there.
Rod chaired the committee that wrote and edited the narratives that are engraved on the inside wall of the memorial, which required many hours of planning and meeting.
Rod has been involved in almost every aspect of the planning and completion of the memorial as it is today. There were not too many things that Rod was not somehow involved in, such as speaking engagements, memorial tours, paver sales, collecting donated items, handling over 3500 telephone calls, and selling memorial items
Rod has worked with me on almost all of the Veterans Day programs, and other programs at the memorial. He was part of the steering committee that produced and sold the ads for the special Veterans Day section with the Post Bulletin. This section prints the stories of Veterans and military stories and was due to be scrapped until a few members, including Rod, decided that it was too important to cancel. It also became a fund raiser.
