CW2 Douglas Vose Memorial Statue

Hello Everyone,

All the bricks have been ordered and the statue is underway. The 27th of July is the dedication ceremony in Concrete, WA. Planning for the event is ongoing and details will be posted as they are confirmed.

Jason Vose is working through the Airborne portion. I have noted a few of you who have expressed interest in participating and will push information to you once I have specifics. In order to best prepare for your participation I will need the following:
- Date of last jump (Jump log)
- MFF certificate
- HAP Chamber card
- Hazardous duty orders
- Jump Master currency for all those interested in JMing.

There is the possibility this will be a civilian craft jump but in any case, those jumping will be required to submit the above documentation to ensure legal participation. If this will be military run, I will provide you with the OPORD and required documentation to best plan.

If you are interested, please send me the above documentation by 15 June so we can properly plan. Thank you.

Hello Everyone!!

It gives me great pleasure to update you all with a photo of the work being done by Stan Watts as he progresses in the initial stages of developing the statue of Doug. This is a very rough draft of the end product so any artistic criticism will be put to rest when the final product is standing proud in Concrete, WA.

This Thursday is the absolute last day to get your sentiments in. I will be placing the brick order on 26 April as stated before. If you see this message after the 26th, I will work with you should you want to make a change to your originally posted message. Many have confirmed with either myself or Michael Frank and therefore do not need to provide any more information unless you change your mind of course.

The 26th will be the last day in which donations can be made and memorialized with a brick, BUT THE SITE WILL REMAIN OPEN. Any donations received after that will support the cermony but unfortunately there will be no more availability of bricks. More updates to follow in the coming weeks. Thank you all again, so much.

Hello again,

15 April has passed and I have about a 60% confirmation of what everyone wanted engraved on their statue-base bricks. Given some requests for more time, I can delay the brick order until no later than 26 April. This is the last day that will ensure delivery with enough time to install prior to the 27 July dedication ceremony.

Michael Frank, a life-long friend of Doug's and integral part of this effort will be contacting many of you to help confirm brick wording. If you receive an email from him in regards to this subject, please provide him the information required.

Again, thank you all so much and more to follow as the statue is crafted and the ceremony detailed.
