Highlighting the celebration will be the initial raising of our Nation’s Colors on a newly installed 45 foot pole. The 12 foot by 18 foot American Flag will be visible for blocks and will highlight the renovations & improvements to the Naples Veterans Memorial.  Built in 1984 to honor WWI through the Vietnam War casualties, seven more names have been added to those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.  Twenty-six years of time and weather have caused the need for renovation and improvement to the Memorial.

Brigadier General Joseph Cutrona U.S. Army (Ret.) will be the guest of honor—a veteran of three wars.

The Museum of Military Museum Memorabilia, Collier County Cannon Battery, and the Barron Collier High School Drum Line will also participate.

The Purple Heart Award will be awarded to Staff Sergeant Skipp M. Torres U.S. Army (Ret.) who was wounded in battle August 1950 in Korea.

U.S. Army Captain (Ret.) James Elson, who has served as President of the Collier County Veterans Council 2000-2010 has been intimately involved in the restoration of the Memorial, along with J.R. Hobbs and Kevin Keyes; all are graduates of Norwich University, the oldest private military college in America

Captain Elson said, “It is critically important that the 40 Naples men who died for our country be remembered and properly honored. It is our goal to restore, improve and maintain this Memorial for future generations, and especially for the families of those who have fallen in combat since 9/11.”

 Improvements to be added to the original Memorial will be significant: five new flag poles, brick walkways with benches and custom lighting designed especially for War Memorials.

Please tell friends and family to join in the celebration of our local heroes on May 15.

For more information on this community event, contact James Elson at 239.434.2652 or visit   www.colliervets.org.
