We helped a great guy create a monument being dedicated this month in Quantico Virginia to his Marines brethren
in " memory of our Golf 2-7 Brothers who made the supreme sacrifice and in honor of all who served Golf Company 2-7 and their country in time of need." It is being dedicated July 23 at the USMC national park.
The monument almost never happened as funding was slow to materialize. But because of the dedication and hardwork of one individual, it was able to come together and it was great to be a part of.
This was such a great story that our local newspaper, The Intelligencer decided to do a writeup on it that can be found on their website,
phillyburbs.com
Please look over the photos below. The manufacturer said it was the nicest monument they ever did. Marines employed at the bronze casting company wanted to meet the designer and said it was a job they were certainly proud of, and in our 21 years in business this is our proudest moment as well.
To help a person like Dave Kling bring this together, to help him honor is fallen brethren who fought so hard to keep us free is huge to us. We can't thank all the stakeholders who helped bring this together enough.
Please visit the Marines golf company website directly at
