Comrade Bob Kettle has called attention to the neglect of the World II Memorial Wall at Memorial Stadium on Facebook. The wall includes nearly 750 names of Seattle Public Schools alumni etched in stone to honor those young servicemen who in WWII gave their last full measure of devotion to our country.
According to Bob, “Now blighted memorial sits at the site. A rundown parking lot abuts it, with fountains and lighting long neglected, and trash strewn about. Graffiti covers the ticket stand that serves a “welcome” to the area.”
Comrade Kettle is in touch with the city and is investigating who to coordinate with to ensure the memorial remains in good condition. He is also researching what the plans are for the wall in the case the stadium is renovated. He will report back to the post leadership and membership his findings.
