Walking Our Boys Home - Fundraiser (2026 - 2027)

  1. Our statue area desperately needs some intimate shaded seating options to encourage quiet visits with the "Bronze Boys".
  2. Our plaza needs a large permanent shaded event pavilion where locals and visitors can gather in comfort.
  3. Extend our Circle of Freedom brick walkway for better visitor access & future memorial space.

Our vision... The exhausted soldiers are leaving the jungle passing through an ancient village gate. They will then walk past the American flag and head into their headquarters building. They will now be going home. Completing their story.

our plan

Capital Improvements for our Visitors

 Our iconic statue is our plaza’s show piece, but there is no shady place to sit or put stuff down when you get there. We are planning on twin seating pergolas to embrace the statue and a comfortable large pavilion with ADA benches and picnic tables.

  

With the enhancements to the historic Orman house and the major summer improvements at Chapman Gardens, our own plaza is falling behind with visitors. Veterans are ageing fast, but we have an excellent opportunity to launch this exciting campaign now. Our combined park amenities & public restrooms will be a great asset to the community, allowing many future outdoor events.

The newly restored Armory is wheel chair accessible though the side entrance. Do note that the games will be about counter height. Wooden stools will be provided for your comfort.


Our dessert table will be hosted by our very own Apalachicola Chocolate & Coffee company.  Kirk Lynch is an avid chocolatier and chef, boasting a 20+ year career across the United States, Virgin Islands, and beyond. Kirk and Faith are much appreciated in this town for supplying our treats and caffeine, with a generous helping of "just be happy". 


Our beer sponsor, Buoy Brewing, will have one of our favorite brews, "Kaptain Kolsch" reporting for duty at our beer table.  We are also blessed to have "Jess" Montgomery in attendance to dispense her brew knowledge & contagious smile.   Stop by to throw them a salute! 


Our wine table is sponsored by one of our favorite hang-outs, Bottoms Up Booze Shop & Bar / Hong Kong Bistro2.  Keri Elliott will choose a red and a white for our enjoyment. Cheers!
