The Shoreline Veteran's Memorial

Design for Shoreline Veteran's Memorial

In a previous story, we reported that well-known resident Dwight Stevens was honored at the Veteran's Day celebration and presented with a check from King County for the Veteran's Memorial fund.

Patty Hale explains the project further, reporting that the Veterans group has been working on the development of a memorial that recognizes and honors Shoreline Veterans of all branches of the Military for some time.

While they have the bulk of the design work done, they still lack that perfect piece of property and the funding to make it happen. The $10,000 check from King County presented by County Councilmember Rod Dembowski is a great start for the funding it will take to make the Veterans Memorial Project a reality, but much more is needed.

The Shoreline Veteran's Association has begun a fund raising campaign for the Memorial Project.

The public can help by making a tax deductible donation in any amount, and mailing it to:

Starr Sutherland Jr.

American Legion Post 227

P.O. Box 55193

Shoreline, WA  98155-1125

In the next few months the details will be finalized for the purchase of Engraved Bricks. The intent is to have bricks that honor and memorialize veterans past and present for their service. The Bricks will be made a permanent part of the base of Shoreline's Veterans Memorial.
