Spende geschützt
The Global War on Terror Wall of Remebrance traveling memorial.

We need these funds to complete the NEW, built to travel Wall of Remembrance.
The original version of the memorial (pictured above) was Designed by USMC David Brown and Patriot JR Nichols founder of Rear Area Support Foundation a Veteran non-profit in Placentia, California. The memorial was only meant to go up one time for the 10 Year remembrance of the attacks of 9/11/01. David and JR wanted to show Americans that not only did we lose nearly 3000 people on 9/11 but since that day we had lost more than 6000 military that answered the call. It currently bears the names of those Americans lost in and on:
Bombing of the Marine Barracks
Desert Shield
Desert Storm
Attacks of 9/11/2001
USS Cole Bombing
Operation Enduring Freedom
Operation Iraqi Freedom
Operation New Dawn
Operation Inherent Resolve
Operation Freedoms Sentinel
Fort Hood Attack
Boston Marathon Bombing
Chattanooga Tennessee Attacks
San Bernardino Attack
Other known Attacks on American's
Since 1983 we have lost about 11,000 American lives in the Global War on Terrorism.
David and JR never meant for this memorial to travel, the goal was just to build it and pay their respects on 9/11/2011. It wasn't until USMC Derek Hendershot requested for a year straight to put this on display at his college that JR agreed. Derek then offered to keep the memorial moving after graduation from Cypress College and JR again agreed. Since that agreement these are the statistics of the past 3 years:
Traveled 90,000+ miles
Set Up In 34 different states
Set Up a total 64 times
Total Viewing Days 236
Number of Americans Educated 500,000+
Number of Veterans Visited 75,000+
Number of Veterans Asking for Help After Viewing 147
Number of Suicides Prevented 12
This was all done on a shoestring, NO Government funding, NO Corporate funding, NO Grants. This was done by 1s, 5s, 10s, 20s and the occasional 100. Funded by Hard Working Americans. JR and his wife put their entire savings on the line, borrowed what they could to keep helping our Veterans. Neither JR, David or Derek have ever recieved or asked for a salary, just enough to cover a bill here or there and if not they make due. If you have ever crossed paths with them listen to the stories and you will know where their hearts are.
This Wall of Remembrance has been traveled, beat up, blown down and almost drowned a few times. It has been set up in the most amazing locations and some of the harshest conditions. It's getting battle warn and the cracks are starting to show.
Athens, AL This Airman transported HERO's bodies home to Dover AF Base and his leg was crushed while transporting.
Pocono Raceway in PA., 75mph wind storm broke 8 panels and twisted the top rail.
NOW IS YOUR TIME TO HELP CARRY THE LOAD!
We are currently building a NEW Wall of Remembrance traveling memorial:
This NEW version has a steele frame and replica World Trade Towers at each end. The timeline side is being brought current along with the names of OUR fallen HEROES.
We have raised 48,000.00 to design and complete the memorial structure but we are in need of 25,000.00 to complete the panels and find a truck to pull the new to us trailer that AMVETS purchased for us.
We are so close to realizing JR, David & Derek's 4 year dream for this Wall of Remembrance to keep going and complete the goal they set of getting this memorial to within 50 miles of the home towns of those represented on it.
Now it's up to you as AMERICANS to get behind us a show our HEROES, VICTIMS and FAMILIES what this means and that you care. EVERY PENNY COUNTS.
