Three Servicemen Statue South, Inc.
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.

Public launch of this fundraiser will coincide with our annual Memorial Day celebration on May, 25, 2026

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!
