We Still Need Your Donations
We still need your help.This Memorial has cost $400,000 and we are now expending funds to prepare the site. We have entered a critical period in our effort to honor past and future crewmembers in this struggle against terrorism. There is still time and opportunity to show your support for those who have been and are on the frontline. They didn't ask to be in this position, but you can be sure there will be other instances of terrorism. To finish this should be a Memorial by and for the Aviation Community. Modest donations by many people have added up quickly and made this a reality. There have been many from outside the Aviation Community who have supported us and we ask for your continued help. There is a tradition in military squadrons that the original members are considered and honored as "Plank Owners". This is your opportunity to be a Plank Owner. When you visit your beautiful Memorial it will mean all the more that you were a part of its birth. Please donate and spread the word about the Memorial and our website. Your donations are tax deductable. The Foundation is registered with the IRS as a 501(c)(3) organization.
