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.
Donate today 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
"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."
Our freedom to live and work in a community as great as ours is a result of the sacrifices borne by those who serve, and in some cases, veterans who have given us their all for our country. The Flame of Liberty Memorial delivers honor and gratitude to our Veterans. More importantly, it shouts "Welcome Home!"
"The reason I have donated time and energy to this worthwhile cause is because Veterans and active Military provide for the peace and freedom of our country, which is fundamental to the American way of life."
