Pacifica Veterans Memorial

We are so close to our budget goal but we still we need a little more help from you kind people. Play it forward to support the Veterans of Pacifica! And it's tax deductible! We appreciate any amount you can provide $5, $10, $25. It all helps the memorial project!

Now that things have semi-settled down we'd like to happily inform you that our previous financial goals for fundraising have almost been met. We are still shy $2000. What this means is that the monument has been manufactured and is complete except for the last details of inscribing it. Mark Fontana has suggested we wait until such time that is closer to the actual date of installation to ensure a fresh, new quality to the finished work. Meantime, he has allowed the monument ...to be stored at V, Fontana, his Colma business location until that time. Speaking of which, that "time'' looks increasingly tentative to be either in May, in conjunction with Memorial Day, or until the Fall of this year coinciding with Veterans Day in November. Unfortunately, this is still fluid because of the reality of Co-Vid restrictions and a common sense approach to our local county health demands for public gatherings. We wish you all a safe and healthy New Year and a joyous 2021.

THE GREATEST GENERATION !!! This photo, taken in June 1944, aboard a landing craft, shows members of the 4th Infantry Division and members of the 327th Gl...ider Infantry Regiment (101st Airborne Division), heading towards Utah Beach, Normandy. Upon landing, these young men fought day and night to liberate towns they didn't know, and people they didn't know. We can never repay the debt we owe this generation, but we can remember their faces, keep their stories alive, and make sure that the magnitude of their sacrifice is never forgotten. See more

We salute his service and all Veterans!

A true friend indeed.
