NORTHWEST Families, governor work on memorial to soldiers SALEM - The parents of a soldier killed in Iraq are not waiting for the war to end to start planning a memorial. Clay and M.J. Kesterson of Independence joined Gov. Ted Kulongoski and about 100 others on the steps of the state Capitol this weekend to raise money for the $500,000 memorial. Organizers estimated that they raised $1,000 to $1,500, which they will add to the $5,000 collected since the campaign began in mid-September. The Kestersons want to break ground on the project next November, the second anniversary of their son's death. The state has designated land near the Oregon Department of Veterans Affairs building for the proposed memorial, which will feature a sculpture of a soldier kneeling atop a 6-foot pedestal in a reflecting pool shaped as a world map. The soldier will stand on America, with arms reaching out to symbolize America's desire to help others. |
