Plans to build a permanent memorial for all 35 of Vermont's fallen soldiers -- killed in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan -- are moving ahead.
Organizers say they still need to find a place for the memorial to soldiers who had ties to Vermont, and they're hoping it can be built at the Vermont Veterans Cemetery in Randalph Center. In just under two weeks, the members of Vermont Fallen Families will hold a motorcycle ride to raise money for the memorial. They're looking for 350 thousand dollars. WCAX TV reports that whoever raises the most in the fund raiser will win a Harley. The ride is on August 29th and ends at Lucky's off Route I-89, it's exit three. Anyone who wants to ride, or simply donate can go to WWW. Rideto remembervermont.org
