Local governments who are looking to build memorials and remembrances for veterans or past wars but are short on cash are in luck. The Oregon Heritage of Oregon Parks and Recreation Department announced on Monday they would offer grants for the construction or restoration of veterans and war memorials.
"The program is designed to honor Oregon's soldiers and veterans by commemorating their service to the country," said Kuri Gill, coordinator for the program. "Local governments may apply to build or repair monuments on public land."
In order to be eligible for the grant programs, new monuments should recognize veterans and wars that do not already have tributes. Restoration grants can be used to fix broken monuments, replace missing elements of existing monuments or for design elements for veterans of earlier wars such as World War I.
For more details on the program and an application, visit the Oregon Heritage of Oregon Parks and Recreation Department website. The application deadline is December 15.
