[HistoricCemeterieslistserv] Grants available for veterans and war memorials

[Dora Cemetery Association]

Kuri,

Dora Cemetery is contemplating to pay for a veterans bill board in honor of 100 veterans from the civil war, Spanish American war, World Wars I and Ii, Korea and Vietnam.  The cost is estimated around $5,000.  Is this something that we might get a grant for part of or all the expense?  A picture of the one we are thinking about building is enclosed. Your thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Thanks, 

Ernie Krewson
