Plaque for William & Wallace

Fundraising campaign

Support the creation of a monument in memory of Cpt. Wales and PFC. Siarkowski

Dear friends, history enthusiasts and defenders of the duty of remembrance, we appeal to your generosity to help us fund the creation of a monument in memory of two World War II heroes who fell in the line of duty: Private First Class Siarkowski and Captain Wales.

These two men gave their lives for freedom during the Battle of the Bulge, and this monument will be erected to honor their sacrifice and courage, so that their memory may never be forgotten.

Why this fundraising campaign?

We need funds to cover the various costs related to this project:

  • The design and construction of the monument
  • Organization of the inauguration ceremony
  • Development of the memorial site
  • Installation of explanatory plaques recounting their stories

Every donation counts! Whatever the amount, every contribution brings us closer to our goal. By participating in this fundraising campaign, you will take part in a symbolic and essential project to perpetuate the memory of these two heroes. Thank you very much for your support. The Hogan's 400 team.
