Fundraising Drive Gains Momentum.
Already, members and officers of Robert L. Weininger Memorial VFW Post 8692 are raising monies to fund the project, which could cost as much as $125,000.

VFW Post 8692 Members Bill Marquet, post Commander Robert LaDuke, Jim Haas and Milt Greenfield unveil plans for the memorial at a press conference on November 16, 2007.

VFW Post 8692 is seeking donations from the community, local businesses and other veterans’ organizations. It is also reaching out to local construction firms interested in donating labor, thereby reducing the overall cost of the project.

To help raise the monies needed, the VFW is also selling bricks inscribed with the names of Town veterans for families wishing to memorialize their loved ones. The stone pavers, which cost $60 each, will be placed in front of the memorial.
