I am helping get the word out about a statue for a local fallen hero. I went to school with Doug and ran into him a few times while I was in the Army. His brother Jason was in my class. Our school was small, my class had 32 people in it, so we knew everyone. Doug was killed in Afghanistan July 29 2009. He was a member of the 10th Special Forces Group. Doug was the Assistant Detachment Commander of Special Forces Operational Detachment Alpha – 0114, Alpha Company, 1st Battalion, 10th Special Forces Group. A website has been created to help build a statue to honor Doug.

From the website:
Quote

This project is a memorial statue with full dedication ceremony immortalizing a fallen hero. The memorial will be crafted by an individual artisan and built on Concrete, WA High School grounds where Douglas Vose started his life leaving an impression on the people; the true definition of honor, respect, courage, and hard work.
 
The statue will be a life-sized bronze sculpture of Doug in his Green Beret Uniform (Army Greens) and will be dedicated to the town of Concrete on July 27th 2013, two days prior to the 4 year anniversary of his death. The base of the statue will be constructed of engraved bricks in which sponsors will be literally supporting Doug's statue with their own words and memories.

The ceremony will be conducted at Concrete's High School. In addition to the dedication of the statue, the ceremony will include a full day of festivities in celebration of Doug's amazing life and sacrifice. Doug's brother, a Marine Corps Officer, has coordinated the day to include parachute operations with Force Recon and Army Special Forces who knew and fought with Doug.

Doug's memorial website can be found at the following link:

http://memorialwebsites.legacy.com/dougvose/homepage.aspx

I found out today, that I may be one of the two who get to parachute in with them. I was floored to say the least...

Thank you to all who can donate anything to help. :tup:

Sounds like he was an amazing man. God Speed.
"Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checked by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the grey twilight that knows not victory nor defeat."
