THE OFFER: Part of the ceremony will involve a “then and now” slideshow with pictures of our local men and women who have served and in a real sense preserved our freedoms here at home. We will show these photos on a large video screen during the event with inspiring music in the background; no names will be posted. Send us a picture of YOU back in the day, in field if possible add a current picture and the deed is done. Email works best, info@bcvmpa.org or, if you send an actual photo, mail to: bcvmpa, Box 206, Towanda PA 18848; use a SASE and it will be sent back to you or you can retrieve it after the ceremony. This is a timed segment of our event, we have no idea as to the response to this suggestion but we will try to include all that answer - no guarantees. Early birds stand a better chance as we will start to add the pictures daily.
The parking lot is open, the benches have been installed paver preparation and monument installation construction are ongoing; feel free to drop by and get a feel for where we are at; see in a real sense what we have accomplished with the donated funds from our brothers and sisters.
This Veterans Memorial will be a glorious and lasting tribute to our men and women of yesterday, today and tomorrow.
Small pavers can still be ordered and we are holding the price at $100.00; it will go up to $125.00 for after-the-fact installations. Time is not our friend on this; you have maybe two weeks left at the old price. Larger pavers are also available @$300.00; there is room for a lot more information on them. There are sponsorship opportunities for the larger monuments in the park; call Roy Schrimp at: 607-846-8636 for more information and of course, donations are always appreciated.
To those who have already donated to this cause or who have sponsored certain infrastructures in the park we thank you on behalf of all of our veterans. In visiting the park you will see how meaningful your donation was and how it has been used to accomplish our mission so far.
To those who have yet to step up to the plate or who have been considering helping us to achieve this task, the need to fund stage IV is pressing but absolutely doable. To preserve the proud heritage of our local citizen soldiers, those heroes who have so bravely kept us safe here at home, please make the best contribution you can. What we have completed so far is great but with your help we can make this park AMAZING. Please look into your heart and make this mission of honor a reality. You will not be disappointed. This park is our thank-you to our Moms’ and Dads’ our Sons and Daughters and to the future of our great Nation.
