BOATS MEMORIAL DONATION. Bonefish Base donated $100 to
the U.S. Submarine Veterans of WW II 52 Boats Memorial
Committee. Receipt of the donation was acknowledged.
The letter is at right.
The design of the memorial includes a planting of 52
American Liberty Elm trees, one for each of the lost
boats. The trees will line broad sidewalks that flank
the plaza on two sides leading down to the waters edge.
In front of each tree will be a black granite monument
laser etched with the name and picture of one of the
lost boats, the circumstances of the boat's loss and the
names of all the men who were lost with the boat.
The
52 Boats Memorial website is here.
