CCK Donation supports American Veterans Disabled for Life Memorial
At the 2018 DAV & Auxiliary National Convention, CCK donated $50,000 to the American Veterans Disabled for Life Memorial Fund for continued upkeep and maintenance of the profound national monument, as well as to help fund their mission of education and outreach through the memorial. This donation was given in addition to the $50,000 CCK gave at the 2017 convention. Since 2015, CCK has provided a total of $200,000 in funding to the memorial.
At the 2018 convention, former DAV National Commander Bobby Barrera thanked CCK for their continued contributions to the memorial. Bobby Barrera has served on the board of directors for the American Veterans Disabled for Life Memorial Foundation since 2013, and personally thanked CCK for their generosity in his remarks.
The American Veterans Disabled for Life Memorial
The American Veterans Disabled for Life Memorial opened in Washington, D.C. on October 6, 2014, and DAV has played an important role in the life of the memorial, from its inception. Since the memorial’s opening in 2014, the Foundation has focused on outreach, education, public engagement,
upkeep, and maintenance. At the convention, Bobby Barrera stated that 8,000 volunteers have dedicated 1,400 hours to maintaining the memorial through cleaning and trash removal.
The memorial not only pays tribute to disabled veterans, but also focuses on teaching all of those who visit the memorial about the sacrifice that veterans make in service to their country. This mission also extends to those who visit the memorial virtually. Touring the memorial virtually allows those who would not otherwise be able to visit the memorial to experience and engage with its mission.
