Monday night, September 22nd at the selectman’s meeting, my office received the approval to move forward with the next phase at the **War Memorial**. This will kick start a fundraiser for a VIETNAM MEMORIAL BRONZE PLAQUE to be placed at the Palmer River School.
The photos that I enclosed are at the War Memorial located in front of the Plamer River School along with phase II, for constructing a brick wall in lieu of the existing brick bench. I will be able to add two bronze plaques on this new wall, one for the Rehoboth Mothers of Veterans from the Viet Nam Conflict Era and the second plaque will be for the Rehoboth Mothers of Veterans from the War on Terrorism with no end date.
My time frame is to have fundraisers over the next few years into order to tear down the brick bench during the 2026 school spring break at Palmer River School and then construct a new brick wall for the 2 future bronze plaques. I have a Veterans Memorial Gift Fund revolving account with the town under “Veterans” and I hope to have enough funds to start this project this spring 2026. The construction of the wall alone is going to cost $7,800.00 and this does not include the bronze plaques.
If you could help kick start this fundraiser, I would greatly appreciate it.
The checks can be made out to: “Veterans Gift Fund”
Send to:
Director of Veteran Services
27 Francis Farm Road
Rehoboth, MA 02769
I have over 282 names as of today for this Vietnam plaque and will be making adjustments over the next 10 months as I continue to fine tune this
Thank you for your support and offers to this project
Jake
