WE NEED YOUR HELP TO ERECT THE "THREE SOLDIERS" REPLICA IN HARRIMAN'S RIVERFRONT PARK

Back in August of 2011, I first posted about an event sponsored by the American Legion in Harriman, Tennessee.  This effort is coming to fruition on July 4, 2013, but much support is still needed.

The grand plan is to erect a full size replica of “The Three Soldiers” memorial in the “David Webb Riverfront Park”, as a tribute to Roane County Vietnam veterans.

The memorial, believed to be the only “full size” replica in the state, if not anywhere outside Washington D.C., will be placed in the park’s war memorial area near the present fountain. Long term plans are to place other memorials from America’s other wars in this area as money and support comes along.

The cost of the replica is thought to be between $12 and $14,000. The group did not ask the city for funding, but announced that funds for the monument would come from private donations and fund raising.

Anyone wanting to donate to the memorial can send a check to:

Riverfront Park
P.O. Box 1006
Harriman, TN. 37748

 

or to:

The American Legion

624 Morgan St.

Harriman ,Tn. 37748 

The planned date of July 4, 2013, is the goal for the erection of this fabulous monument in the Veteran Memorial section of the River Front Park.

 

There is still a lot of work to be done.
