    Default USMC Memorial needs our help again

    Over 10 years ago, members of COAR-15 stepped up and contributed to keep the flags flying at the USMC Memorial in Golden. They need help again. My wife alerted me to a 7 News story about electrical damage from the storms, causing damage that now precludes our flags from flying. See link to the story below, as well as links to the threads about our fundraising in 2013. Colorado AR-15 Shooter?s Forum is named on a plaque at the memorial. I won?t be collecting money this time, as 7 News has a link to contribute, but I ask and encourage anyone who is inclined, to contribute.

    Noticed, and will contribute if I can find the link.

    I'm local to Golden (Denver Metro Area), so can also provide hands on.

    While I have never served, I appreciate you that have.

    Can you PM me the specifics of the electrical work needed ?
    If you can get parts & materials donated, I can donate time & labor towards repairs, and I am sure I can get a few other electricians to go along.
    My T.P. wheeling and dealing feedback is here.

    Have you posted this on national sites?

    What I mean is web forums with a much larger exposure than this one?

    I think with a mass post to many sites the 14k need could likely be raised.

    Another possible area for funding would be to send the info to various gun-guy or armed service YouTube personalities.

    Good ideas. I’m not on any national forums or other social media, but if anyone here can cross-post this, I’d be grateful.
