Council gives go-ahead for Veterans Memorial at Pioneer Cemetery

by Jeb Bing

One clarification for the readers. Thru the generosity of Pleasanton residents, service organizations, and the business community the Pleasanton Veterans Memorial Committee has raised nearly $250,000 of the needed $390,000 to complete the memorial. Thru private donations it is our goal to keep the public funding need of the memorial to a minimum. If you would like to learn more about the project or to make a contribution to this beautiful tribute to our veterans please visit our web site at www.PleasantonVeteransMemorial.com/donate.html
Thank you
