“Before we can start construction, we must actually move West Basin Road to make room for the Memorial. This is a major project that costs $4 Million. The Foundation is challenging supporters of the Memorial to raise $250,000 of that online, and has set an urgent deadline of raising the first $50,000 during the month of May.(Last day then to raise $15k+).

“In order to achieve our goal of raising $50,000 in May, I am challenging you to donate $250 or more towards the construction of the Memorial. By giving $250 or more, you’ll move us closer to being able to “Move the Road” in order to Build the Dream.” Online donations here.

PS: Interesting to see that in the choice of quotations to be engraved into the memorial that it includes one on the war in Viet Nam.
