Annual Report
2005
2005 was another busy year for the National Combat Medical War Memorial and Education
Center. We continue to lay the groundwork for
a professionally managed national fundraising campaign which will make the memorial a reality. Founder Charles “Chuck”
Wright continues to cross the nation traveling several thousand miles to speak at and attend military reunions and veteran's
events to continue the promotion of the National Combat Medical Memorial and Youth Education Center and raise funds in support
of our effort. We continue to get involved in a number of fundraisers to raise capital even as we continue
to seek out corporate sponsorships, donations and support.
We truly hope that our ground breaking efforts will bear fruit in a fitting memorial to combat medical
personnel. It is to honor the military doctors, nurses and corpsmen and medics who saved so many lives in all of America's
wars, declared and undeclared.
