FRANKFORT, Ky. -- The Kentucky National Guard Memorial Fund is asking anyone who knows of a Guardsman who perished in the line of duty, who is not listed below, to please contact them so they can be added to the plans for the memorial.

Funds are being raised now to construct a memorial to be located at the entrance to Boone National Guard Center in Frankfort. The memorial will pay tribute to who perished and will also honor and recognize all those who have served. The memorial will focus on the modern period which began on March 19, 1912 when the Kentucky State Guard officially became the Kentucky National Guard.

“We want to make sure twenty years or even a hundred years from now no one will have forgotten these Kentucky Guardsmen," said Memorial Fund Chairman John Trowbridge. "They deserve to be remembered for their dedication and sacrifice.”

Anyone who would like to learn more about the effort, offer assistance or to make a donation, are urged to contact the Kentucky National Guard Memorial Fund, Inc. at PO Box 5466, Frankfort, KY 40602 or e-mail at info@kyngmemorial.com or on the web at www.kyngmemorial.com.
