The mission of the Mora County Veterans’ Memorial Committee is to plan, design, raise funds and erect a memorial to commemorate those that gave the ultimate sacrifice to honor all veterans that served. The committee will continue to discuss and advise upkeep, as well as use for services and community events.
LEST WE FORGET
FOR OVER TWO CENTURIES, AMERICAN
VETERANS HAVE PLEDGED THEIR LIVES, THEIR
FORTUNES AND THEIR SACRED HONOR IN
DEFENSE OF THIS GREAT NATION
The design of the Memorial were funded through a Mora MainStreet service request. The NM MainStreet uses GroundWorks Studio for landscape architecture in its’ thirty two NM MainStreet communities. This is very advantageous as the studio has experience with such a large variety of communities, and saves the memorial fund over $20,000.
Amy Bell and Ted Weber listened to the Veterans’ needs, wants and concerns. Two years of meetings with the Veterans, MainStreet board members and community input, have brought us to the next step… 90% finished construction plans!
Placement, surface finishes, plaques, etc… Have been decided.
To communicate with the committee, please send inquires to moraveteransmemorial@gmail.com
Approximately 75% of the funds needed for phase one has been obtained through an legislative appropriation via Senator Compos.
Mora Veterans appreciate your input and donations.
