Thomas Lamarr
Thomas Lamarr (Tom) is a Volunteer with the Veterans Memorial & Support Foundation of Los Gatos and even more importantly, a USMC veteran who has served our country. He and his wife are long-term residents of Santa Clara, California. One of his many talents is to refurbish vehicles to pristine condition, which he has done with a 1942 Dodge WC-51 Weapons Carrier that was issued to and used by the United States Army during Operation Torch in 1943 in Northern Africa. Tom refurbished the truck and acquired all new olive drab canvas – four pieces in total – for his pride and joy. One may be fortunate to see Tom and his WWII Weapons Carrier as the two are becoming an iconic sight for the Veterans Foundation in many Town parades and events in Silicon Valley.
and transform lives for America’s heroes. Every single penny contributes to delivering the honor, respect gratitude and healing to those who’ve defended America’s freedom.
TOGETHER, WE'RE UNSTOPPABLE
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."
