A chance to give something back to the community while honoring those who died in war.
(SALEM) - Volunteers are needed to construct the Afghan-Iraqi Freedom War Memorial being built behind the Oregon Department of Veterans' Affairs, 700 Summer St. NE, in Salem.
The memorial will honor the sacrifices of those Oregon service members who have lost their lives during Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom.
The Afghan-Iraqi Freedom War Memorial will be dedicated on Veterans Day, November 11th, 2006. Volunteers are needed to ensure the memorial is completed in time for the dedication.
This is a non-paid, volunteer opportunity to pay respect to service members who sacrificed their lives in service to our country.
Any amount of time volunteers can offer their assistance is greatly appreciated. Skilled and un-skilled laborers are needed to help pour concrete, lay bricks, lay sod and assist landscaping, among other jobs.
Construction is being done from 7:00 AM until dark, seven days a week, throughout the month of October until the memorial is completed.
To volunteer please contact Bill McMichael, project manager, at 971-563-8549 or MJ Kesterson, at 503-930-9097.
