I am writing this in hopes that you will share this plea for assistance with the larger Madera community.  The United States Airpower Museum Foundation and the Veterans of Prisoner of War Association in conjunction with the Veterans Administration Hospital in Fresno, have been working on a project for the last two years (Wall of Honor) to recognize and honor many veterans who were imprisoned in the worst possible conditions, under constant threat of execution, for months and years.

Many of the members of the Veterans of Prisoner of War Association are in their 80’s. They have fallen short about $10,000 to complete a wall memorial, which is meant to be installed at the front of the VA Hospital on April 10, 2010 (National Ex-POW Day). 

These veterans would appreciate support in completing this monument.

Donations in any amount, no matter how small, can be sent to the Office of the Director, VA Hospital, 2615 E. Clinton Ave., Fresno, CA 93703 (Attn: Delores McIntyre) or mailed to: United States Airpower Museum, 4877 E. Norwich Ave., Fresno, CA 93726. Delores McIntyre can be reached at 228-5337.
