Dear Mayor Suarez:
The Veterans Council of Dade County would like to
place on May 12, 1988, City Commission Agenda a
discussion item in consideration of building a War
Memorial monument in Bayfront Park.
For the past four years we have worked with the
Department of Development towards having a Veterans War
Memorial located in Bayfront Park. We agreed at our
Feb 27, 1986 meeting with John Gilchrist and Juanita
Shearer to raise the required funds to build a Veterans
War Memorial. Up to date there has been no action
taken by that office.
We would also like to initiate a National Design
Competition to promote this idea throughout the U.S.
We believe that it would create a. strong artistic
interest that would be instrumental to the City of
Miami
Thanking you in advance to your immediate response
to this request.
Sincerely yours,
x
Har ld G. Spaulding.
