A challenge has been made to all Sons of the American Legion Squadrons in Michigan to make a donation to the beautiful Upper Peninsula Veterans War Memorial near the Pine Mountain Ski Jump in Iron Mountain. Some Gave All and the Sons are asking each and every one to give some. So far, the Michigan Sons detachment has donated $1,000, the Gladstone Squadron 71 has pledged $500, South Haven Squad 49 has pledged $500 and the Stambaugh SAL donated $2,000, the biggest donation so far. Past state Sons President Dennis Larson from Iron Mountain American Legion Post 50 and his committee are caretakers of the memorial. Lights are being added to the columns of personalized pavers that represent veterans past, present and future. Each paver is associated with the specific war or conflict. Send donations in C/O the U.P. Veterans Memorial, 609 Kennedy Road, Iron Mountain, MI 49801.
