@greenhawk46 - The Marine Corps League has helped us in the past. Next week we are going to do something that will hopefully propell the memorial to a level we never thought possible. Tomorrow it's back down in the Cincy area for a day for the Nick Erdy benefit.

@SeanFlaharty saw it in Dublin, this last Sunday-I thought about the Marine Corps League, after I commented-they can either help you, or help you network for funds-all in all, you'll get the funding you need for the Memorial to travel- Jim

@greenhawk46 - Thanks again Jim! Where did you get to see the memorial at? We have a really big corporate sponsor now who has done amazing things for us. Too many things to list here in this space. We plan on taking this to the next level in the next few weeks. A level where none of us have been yet. It's an exciting time right now!!! Stay tuned.

-hey, with the former Marine network in this Country, you should have no trouble asking them for monetary help-and getting the travel funds for the Memorial-along with donations all visitors make when seeing it-
Go Lima Co- slan, Jim H.

this terrific, unique memorial to this great group of Men, needs to travel, be seen and impact a public, which is supportive, but largely ignorant about the personal impact of the Iraq and Afghan Wars- what RESTREPO did for Afghanistan, this Lima Co Memorial will/can do for Iraqi vets-
It's a must-see, I saw it with my [former Marine] bro-in-law, as an Army Viet vet,
I appreciated it , as did he.
