Larry D. Silver and the Silver Companies earned “Founder” status with a donation of $100,000. Silver honors both his grandfathers and his father, Carl D. Silver, who earned both a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart in World War II. The donation provides sponsorship of the granite Memorial Wall, which will be etched with figures of armed service members and will serve as a focal point of the memorial.
Atlantic Builders donated $25,000 to earn “Commander” status. Their donation will sponsor the flagpole that is featured prominently in the memorial’s design.
“Thanks to these donations, an appropriation of $225,000 from the Board of Supervisors, and other donations from the community, we have already surpassed $483,275 towards our $675,000 goal,” said said Daniel Chichester, chairman of the Armed Services Memorial Working Group.
The $675,000 memorial will be built behind the George L. Gordon, Jr., Government Center. It will honor the fallen, those who have served, and those who are currently serving.
