You are invited on December 20, 2012 to attend a short Memorial Service at the Forgotten Heroes site located on Andrews Street next to the Grant County Airport Terminal parking lot. The memorial service will be from noon to 1:00 p.m. and will memorialize the airplane crash of 60 years ago.

I would like to take this opportunity to say Thank-you to everyone who has assisted, contributed and supported the creation and the building of the Memorial for the Forgotten Heroes. Especially the following individuals and groups:

Cindy Austin at NECA (National Electrical Contractors Association); IBEW 191; Terry Beckner of Stetner Electric; Steve and Charlotte Hathaway, Nawaporn Bellgardt, Michaelle Boettger; Matthew M. Hartman, GS-13, USAF AFSA ( Air Force Sergeants Association) Chapter 358; Teamsters Local 760; State Representative Judy Warnick; Moses Lake Rental; Penhallurick's; Million Air' Sonico; Triple A Concrete; Columbia Basin Job Corps; Moses Lake Steel; Grant County PUD Line Crew; Bob Chudomelka; Port of Moses Lake Maintenance Staff; Scott Carver; Ron Baker, Joann Hosszu; Jeniel Cramer; American Legion Joe Hooper Post 209; and over 11 Lions and Lioness Clubs from around the Northwest.

Without everyone's help, along with many more groups and individuals, this memorial would never have happened. Again, thank you.
