JOHN KALKMAN
John served in the US Navy in the late 80’s aboard the USS Fletcher (DD-992). The Fletcher was part of an anti-submarine warfare squadron patrolling and mapping the United States Pacific Ocean during the Cold War era. Serving the country while in the US Navy and now with the foundation continues to be one of the greatest honors of my life.
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed down for them to do the same.
— Ronald Reagan

A Memorial creates an actual place where veterans, all who serve their country and families of all races, creeds, social status and opinion can find a place that creates a healing environment to reflect and value one of our greatest gifts--to live in a free society.
"Going clear back to the Civil War, all of our Veterans have raised their right hand and swore to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. And along with that we wrote a check to the U.S. Government and the American People for an amount up to and including our lives. Unfortunately, far too many have given their all in that regard."
"It is important to have a war memorial because it must not be forgotten that many people gave their lives so that we Americans might have what we have today."
