A Message from the
Chairman
The year 2009 is an exciting
time for the Van Zandt County Veterans Memorial. Groundbreaking for the
Memorial Plaza is scheduled for January 17th, with full construction to
follow in April 2009. With the generous contributions of private citizens
and local area businesses, the Memorial will finally become a reality after
more than three years of planning and fundraising.
With the opening of the Memorial
Gift Shop, citizens can visit the Memorial site and express their support
for our Fallen Heroes in person. Your support is not only appreciated by
Memorial volunteers, but by all of the Van Zandt County families who have
lost loved ones in uniform, protecting our country and all of the rights
we enjoy.
Please consider donating
to the Van Zandt County Veterans Memorial. Construction costs have risen
dramatically during the past three years of planning. Once construction
of the Memorial Plaza is complete, there remains the continuous cost of
maintenance to ensure the Memorial will be enjoyed for many generations
to come.
Your continued support of
the Memorial is vital. Please consider the Van Zandt County Veterans Memorial
when you are planning what charities you are going to give to this coming
year. The Memorial is recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as a full
Charitable Organization (501c3) and any and all donations to it are tax
deductible.
With Best Wishes to You and
Your Families,
Harry Fontenot
