A Blog Called Hope

The Rhode Island World War II Memorial commission is still fighting to finish its Providence Monument and have it dedicated by November. But in order for that to happen, they need your help. If you can, please consider donating to this very worthy cause which, once completed, will be dedicated to the 2,562 Rhode Islanders who made the ultimate sacrifice in WWII. It’s estimated that more than 94,000 Rhode Islanders served in the war effort.

Of all the Rhode Island veterans who have pushed for this memorial, none have worked harder than commission chair Joe Corrente, who hasn’t been feeling well as of late. Joe, we’re thinking of you, and hope to see you back on the mend soon. Thanks so much for all that you’ve done to honor the sacrifices of the brave men and women who fought to keep this country free.

Cranston City Council President Aram Garabedian is helping to lead the final push to fund the memorial’s completion. Here’s some video of him speaking with NBC 10 about the project from earlier this week.
