The progress of Cal Farley's Veterans Memorial

There are times in our lives when we have to step up and give a little more than the norm. Thousands of American Veterans have stepped up and met this challenge by providing the foundation for what we enjoy today. Even today when we are safe at home snuggled in our safe environment there are those who are sitting on top of a mountain in Afghanistan and around the world who are enduring the hardships of combat or military service with one thought in mind. This thought is to protect those at home, and those who are not born yet from having to live the life of repression. Most of us do not even know the name of the soldiers fighting for our way of life and thus call them Veterans. What Is Different about Cal Farley’s Veterans But what happens to those soldiers who have met the call of military service or died in service honorably? Is it not our responsibility as Americans to place their names in stone as a representation of their selfless service. Here is where the dilemma arises in building a monument at Cal Farley’s boys ranch. Most of the service members who graduated Cal Farley’s Girlstown and Boys ranch do not have family ties because of the situations they were in prior to going to Cal Farley’s nonprofit homes. Unlike a normal family, after graduation and because of their military service, many still do not have family supporting members, and are forced to continue their life alone. Even in the face of this hardship these Veterans were willing to join the military and endure the unknown alone. They have shown their courage, and it is now time for us to show our appreciation for that courage. Success We, with your help, have the chance to ensure that these people receive the honor they deserve, but the success of this endeavor lies completely upon the public. These Veterans deserve to have their name placed in stone alongside Cal and Mimi Farley’s burial site (The founders of Cal Farley’s). The completion of this project will directly motivate the young men and women of Cal Farley’s in the future by providing a legacy of honor to the children who live there, and provide a home to rest the name of our honored Veterans. By reserving A $25 Veterans Memorial T-Shirt or making a small donation, the men and women who have served honorably will be provided a memorial for others to see their selfless service. The Building Of a Memorial Initial steps have been taken to build a Veterans Memorial to both those former residence of Cal Farley’s who have served in the military and especially those who has sacrificed their lives in service to their country. To complete this task we now meet a great deal of effort and funding. The memorial will provide 4×8 and 8×8 spaces for tile to honor Cal Farley’s Veterans. It will also have Pavers and Steps as part of the memorial which can be purchased by others wishing to have a part in the Memorial. The point of contact for pavers, steps and commercial recognition concerning donations need to contact Mister Bobby Sarpalius at: 113 Spring Hill Dr. Hurst, Texas 76054 817-739-6590 bobby@sarpserv.com or Mister Dan Adams at: (800) 687-3722. In either case make sure to advise them that you want to discuss the building of the Veterans Memorial at Cal Farley’s. This T-shirt booster drive is designed to help carry some of the financial burden of building this monument, close to the courthouse, at Cal Farley’s boys ranch in Amarillo, Texas. Through buying a Veterans Alumni Memorial Supporter’s T-shirt we show our support for the building of this monument, and also honor all American Veterans. At this time we have raised $957 which is only a portion of what is needed to build this on Monument. Thanks to Cal Farley’s boys ranch and the alumni leadership, we have been able to secure an architect to designed, draft, and set the building process into motion. It is now up to us, as American citizens, to step up and funded this much-needed project. Please click here to order T-shirts and or provide a small donation.
