Press Release: Freedom Monument Veterans Memorial Ceremony will honor Richard R. Landers
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - On Thursday, December 7, 2017, at 10:00 am, the Santa Maria Valley Chamber of Commerce and the City of Santa Maria will present a plaque dedication ceremony to honor Richard R. Landers, an Orcutt casualty of the Vietnam War. There will also be a Wreath Ceremony in honor of all fallen Veterans. The ceremony will be held at 600 S. McClelland St, in front of the Abel Maldonado Community Youth Center, where the Freedom Monument Veterans Memorial is located.
On the same day of the ceremony, a “Remembering Our Fallen” exhibit will be available for viewing inside the youth center. It will be on display until Wednesday, December 12 and open to the public.
The Freedom Monument was constructed in 2001 in a collaborative effort between the Santa Maria Valley Chamber of Commerce and the City of Santa Maria. Within the monument area are remembrances to 112 Santa Maria Valley Veterans who have given their last full measure of devotion in times of conflict from WWI to the present War on Terrorism. Richard Landers will be the 113th casualty listed.
The public is welcome to attend the plaque dedication and wreath ceremony on December 7th at 10:00am at 600 S. McClelland. In case of rain, the ceremony will be held inside at the Abel Maldonado Community Youth Center.
