« It's Rhode Island Day at the Big E | Today | Bush to congratulate Brown crew at White House » September 18, 2007WW II Memorial Commission to open HQ todayThe commission seeking to raise money to finish the state's World War II memorial will open a fundraising office in Warwick today. The 10 a.m. event will be held in the Warwick Mall parking lot across from the carousel food court. Several veterans officials and political figures are expected to attend. Over the summer, memorial supporters began a campaign to increase interest and the almost $600,000 needed to finish the project by this Veterans Day, Nov. 11. Eight granite slabs sit at a stone company in Seekonk. Covered in plastic, the slabs are engraved with the names of 2,559 men and women who died in the war. -- Journal staff writer Michael P.

I'd love to donate money to the memorial but you see I have this problem of being oppressively taxed to the point that I have to make decisions based on whether I'll be able to afford to put the gas in my car to get to work.
