<strong>The</strong> photos below show the first granite for our <strong>Korean</strong> <strong>War</strong><br />
Memorial being unloaded at Battleship Park. We expect a load of<br />
this granite each week for the next eight weeks or until all of it is<br />
delivered. We hope to have it completed by November 11 this<br />
year. We will try to keep you posted on the progress of this<br />
Memorial. It is to be installed at the same place the GROUND<br />
Breaking was held at the 1999 <strong>KWVA</strong> Convention. (In Battleship<br />
Park).<br />
(Thank You Walter Ballard for photos and letter. Your memorial is<br />
off to a great start. Please send photos when finished. We are proud<br />
of all who dedicated their time to get your memorial erected.)<br />

then Mayor Schundler officiating, and the unveiling aimed at<br />
