Chicopee War on Terror Memorial
Donation protected
My name is Christopher Dupont, I am a committee member of the Veterans' Memorial & Patriotic Committee of Chicopee and together with the City of Chicopee ~ Department of Veterans' Services, we are raising funds to erect a War on Terror Memorial in Chicopee, MA honoring six local servicemen who served in the Armed Forces of the United States of America and were killed as a result of enemy action during the ongoing War on Terror. Our committee is made up of veterans and gold star families.
Special recognition will be given to two citizens of Chicopee killed prior to the 9/11 attack and four killed in action during Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. This monument will be located in the Veterans' Plaza, in front of the First Sergeant Kevin A. Dupont Memorial Middle School, on Front Street in Chicopee, MA, honoring: 1SG Kevin A. Dupont, Army/Marine Corps; CPT John W. Maloney, Marine Corps; SSgt Daniel A. Newsome, Army; Sgt Christopher M. Wilson, Army; Sgt Steven B. LaRiviere, Marine Corps; and GySgt John S. Fredette, Marine Corps.
The memorial will consist of a granite base with a soldier's cross on top and a female soldier statue (both made of stone) paying respects and kneeling in front of the soldier's cross.
As of today, we have raised $25,000 of the $50,000 needed to get this memorial in place prior to Memorial Day 2017. And we have already placed a $15,000 deposit with the granite company, Please donate now as the time to complete this memorial and have it in place prior to Memorial Day 2017 is fast approaching.
Questions, please contact the Director of the Department of Veterans' Services ~ City of Chicopee.
