Donor Recognition - Level
2
Memorial
Founders
 The
Afghanistan & Iraq War Memorial
project requires an essential amount of lead capitalization.
This funding will enable us to immediately move
forward with the featured eagle sculpture, production
of premium samples, a Diamond Memory™ tribute production
facility, updated renditions including a virtual memorial
walk through, the collection of personal dedications
for the memorial tributes, and implementation of planned
fund raising presentations. Without this capital injection,
progress will continue, but at a much slower pace.
 The Memorial
Founder designation distinctively
recognizes those exceptional first contributors
to this memorial project. A bronze bust of each
Memorial Founder, sculpted by award winning sculptor
Carl Regutti, will be presented to each founder.
Mr. Regutti sculpted the famous equine life-size
bronze of Aristides, Winner of the first Kentucky
Derby in 1875, the centerpiece at historic Churchill
Downs. The photos on this page depict two works
by Mr. Regutti. Each bust display will include
a Diamond Memory™ tribute featuring information
about the founder. The founders will be honored
in Memorial Hall, in all publications, featured
on the Website, and invited to all special events.
Each founder’s personal comments will be
archived on disk and available for viewing in Memorial
Hall. Each founder will also receive an exclusive,
gold Afghanistan & Iraq War Memorial lapel
pin. There will be a maximum of five (5) founders.
This donor support can be personal or made in honor
of a loved one or friend, in which case the bronze
bust will be sculpted of the specified person and
the Diamond Memory™ tribute will feature
a dedication to the chosen honoree. This support,
as with any of our recognition options, can be
anonymous if so desired. Founder recognition requires
a $350,000 donation.
****************************************************************
At this time, all five founder
positions are available. A primary contributor has
the option of donating the entire lead capitalization
amount - $1,750,000. In which case you alone, or your
selected honoree, will be designated The Memorial
Founder.

Frame Your Pin
 |
If you don't
ware lapel pins think about having it framed. The example
at the left is a 6" x 6" metal frame. A printed
backdrop has been mounted to the mat board. Then a 1 1/2" beveled
oval was cut in the center. The pin is then affixed to
the center. I use Graphik
Dimensions Ltd. as my frame supplier. Select one of seven
free backdrops. I recommend printing on premium gloss
or matte photo paper. You can easily do the framing yourself,
but I would recommend you use a professional framer to
mount your backdrop and cut the center oval.
