Oregon is one of six states that do not have a memorial to its WWII veterans. Our organization was established to build such a memorial on the capitol grounds in Salem, one that will honor Oregon's WWII veterans as well as those civilians that supported the war effort here at home. This will indeed be a memorial to our "Greatest Generation" and the sacrifices they endured for our freedoms. Additionally, by using current technology built into the memorial itself, we will be able to share the stories and experiences of this generation in perpetuity, so that future generations can learn from them. We have the land secured; the plans, permits and contractors in place, and we have raised 60% of the funds needed to complete this project. We have $450,000 remaining to be raised. Recently I presented before the Yamhill County Board of Commissioners, and shortly thereafter was informed by Mary that Yamhill County pledged $5,000. A donation of $5,000 or above ensures that Yamhill County's name will be forever visible at the memorial. The enthusiasm for this project by these commissioners was overwhelming, and Mary has challenged each county in Oregon to match Yamhill County's $5,000 pledge. It is Mary's hope that the name of each of Oregon's 36 counties will be reflected on the donor wall as a sign of support for its WWII veterans. Accordingly, I am writing you for your assistance in securing such a pledge from Deschutes county. I fully recognize the economic hardships faced by many Oregon counties; nevertheless, I am asking for your help, that Deschutes county can assure that every Oregonian in your jurisdiction can be connected to this worthwhile project. Additionally, if you are aware of specific constituents with whom this project would particularly resonate, we would welcome an introduction. I have enclosed a very compelling nine -minute video that more fully describes this project and why it is so important to the people of Oregon. After viewing this video, if you would like to learn more about this project on behalf of your county, please feel free to contact me. Very truly yours, Lou Jaffe President Oregon WWII Memorial Foundation 2013 81)5 NW SKYt.INF.

Because the county boards meet at various times we have not been able to summarize the contributions yet. As you know, some of the counties are is dire financial shape. Whatever your county can contribute will be appreciated. To date, we have reached 82% of our goal and have $195,000 yet to raise. Thank you in advance for your efforts. Cliff Engel Original Message From: Judith Ure[mailto:Judith.Ure@deschutes.org] Sent: Monday, August 19, 2013 9:59 AM To: 'cliffve@outlook.com' Subject: WWII Memorial Foundation Mr. Engel - The Deschutes County Board of Commissioners recently received a letter from Lou Jaffe requesting funds in support of constructing an Oregon WWII memorial. The Board would like to consider this request, however, they have asked me to find out if other Oregon counties have made donations and, if so, the amount they each contributed. Mr. Jaffe's letter mentioned Yamhill County and I see from your website that Linn County and Lincoln County have also made donations. If you could please provide me with information concerning additional commitments by Oregon's counties, I will forward it to the Deschutes County Board of Commissioners in advance of any discussions they may have on the matter.
