WHAT
STARTED OUT AS A HOME PROJECT TO HONOR A FAMILY MEMBER, A VETERAN AND
P.O.W. OF THE KOREAN WAR HAS NOW DEVELOPED INTO A COMMUNITY EFFORT TO
ESTABLISH A MEMORIAL TO HONOR ALL U.S. MILITARY VETERANS.
CHARLIE (CHUCK) EMMENDORFER, CO-OWNER OF WESTSIDE WELDING IN MONTROSE
TOWNSHIP HAS SPENT MANY HOURS WORKING ON THE MEMORIAL BELL AS PICTURED
ABOVE. IT IS NOW THE INTENT OF THE MONTROSE VETERANS BELL MEMORIAL
COMMITTEE TO LOCATE AND DISPLAY THE BELL IN AN OCTAGON-SHAPED BUILDING
TO BE LOCATED WITHIN THE MONTROSE TOWNSHIP BARBER MEMORIAL PARK. AS PART
OF THE PROJECT NAMES OF VETERANS WILL BE DISPLAYED ON THE INSIDE WALLS
OF THE BUILDING.
THE MONTROSE VETERANS BELL MEMORIAL COMMITTEE HAS BEEN FORMED TO OVERSEE
THE FUNDRAISING, CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE PROJECT. THE GOAL
IS TO RAISE AN ESTIMATED $230,000.00 NEEDED FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE
BELL BUILDING.
