an endorsement of this project to be posted
on this page please use our Endorsement
Form. We welcome support from our military (active,
reserve, retired, widows), businesses, private individuals,
government officials, schools, colleges, and other organizations.
Important Note: In
some endorsements you will read references to the War on Terrorism
Memorial. Those endorsements were made prior to the memorial's
name change. The name is now the National Afghanistan & Iraq
War Memorial.
An endorsement is purely
a show of support for this distinctive memorial concept to
honor the heroes who have died in the Afghanistan and Iraq
wars and is not presented as sponsorship of the designers,
the board, selected contractors, location, or fund-raising
methodologies. Neither does an endorsement imply or support
any political affiliation nor does it imply an endorsement
by an entire company, group, service branch, college, or
other organization unless so stated. In addition, any endorsement
is not meant to give the appearance of sponsorship, sanction,
endorsement, or approval by DoD.
 Active/retired
military or other DoD employees who are considering
making an endorsement but are concerned about the "Joint
Ethics Regulation (JER)" (DoD 5500.7-R), please read
this page.

I graduated from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point in
1951. I was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant and served as
a jet fighter pilot in the U.S. Air Force during the Korean War,
where I flew 66 combat missions in F-86 Sabres. After leaving
Korea, I was an aerial gunnery instructor at Nellis Air Force
Base in southern Nevada, and later an aide to the dean of faculty
at the U.S. Air Force Academy.
The brave men and women who are fighting
to defend America’s
freedom should command the highest respect and admiration. The
fallen should be honored and remembered today.
I support the efforts of Freedom Memorials
to erect the National Afghanistan & Iraq War Memorial destined
for Thunderbird Park at the 45th Infantry Division Museum in
Oklahoma City. Let
us all show the families and the world we care and will always
remember the ultimate sacrifices made by those who volunteered
to serve our great nation.

I am happy to support this
memorial to our soldiers involved in The War on Terrorism.
We often forget the sacrifice needed to maintain our freedom.
We need to remember to pray for those in harms way and
for the family members of those who give the ultimate sacrifice.
We also need to be willing to offer assistance to those
that come home scarred, mentally and physically. I want
to thank those that have taken the time and effort to make
this happen.

 I
wholeheartedly endorse this project. There are those who gave
everything who need to be honored. As the father of a US Marine
killed in action in Iraq I cannot begin to tell you the feelings
I have when I see the artist illustration of the memorial. We
continue to pray for those who are serving and ask that Americans
support our troops wherever they are.

The War on Terrorism Memorial is something that
needs to be done right away. Waiting any time no less to be done
after this conflict is over, honestly, is wrong! These are our
soldiers that risked everything he or she loved for his or her
Country, protecting America against terrorism since 911. Protecting
each of the 300,000,000 Americans liberties, freedom and the
way of live each enjoy. So I urge everyone to support The War
on Terrorism Memorial TODAY! You don't owe the families of the
fallen soldier. However, you owe this honor to the soldiers that
have given the ultimate sacrifice to you and AMERICA.

 I
fully support this project with my whole heart. I'm a veteran
of OIF, and I lost two of my best friends on 19July04 and know
many others who gave their lives for our freedom. I also lost
a very close friend 13June06 in Afghanistan. This project is
just the smallest thing we can do for them. As Americans, we
owe it to them and their families.

done for their country and the American people. We must never

this happen.
