Here is the monument 

The Missing Airman Monument was an inspiration of our member Lee Stanley in respect for his memory of an air combat comrade who was lost, in combat,  off the coast of French Indochina during World War II.

The Wing will stand upright 12' and have a four panel 4ft. x 5 ft. diamond shaped granite base. Each panel will be appropriately etched with a description of the monument and the purpose for which it is intended to serve.

Commemorative black granite plaques will be set at the base of the Monument to pay tribute to those who assisted in the construction of the Monument.

Names of supporting organizations and individuals who wish to make a tax deductable donation will be placed on the wing. 

 

The dedication of this Monument was held on Vererans Day 11/11/2006

 Tax deductible contributions should made out to The Missing Airman Tribute Fund and sent to Lee Stanley 75 784 Via Allegre Indian Wells CA. 92210 and any questions E Mailed to Lee at              leeandpita@aol.com
