THIS WAS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT EVENT OF THE YEAR, FULLY FUNDED THROUGH DONATIONS-TO AND EFFORTS-OF THE BOARD AND SELECT VOLUNTEERS. IT IS INTENDED TO MEMORIALIZE THE SEA SERVICES, AND IN FACT ALL MILITARY BRANCHES, WHILE ENHANCING THE CITY OF CLEVELAND, CUYAHOGA COUNTY AND REALLY ALL OHIO AS WELL AS OUR NATION AT LARGE.
