-- How Will You Use This Story? --
(POLK):
"IT HAS BEEN OVER 25 YEARS SINCE
SADDAM HUSSEIN INVADED KUWAIT.
AND, 'OPERATION DESERT STORM' IS STILL THE LARGEST AMERICAN WAR OF THE 20TH-CENTURY THAT DOES NOT HAVE A MEMORIAL IN WASHINGTON.
NOT ONLY DID NEARLY 400 AMERICANS MAKE THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE, FOR THEIR
COUNTRY--BUT MORE THAN 600-THOUSAND OTHER TROOPS ANSWERED THE CALL TO SERVE.
THAT'S WHY WE AT 'AMVETS' ARE DEDICATED TO ENSURING THAT THE VETERANS OF
'DESERT STORM' WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE THIS MEMORIAL BUILT--WITHIN THEIR LIFETIME.
THE EFFORT BEHIND THE 'NATIONAL DESERT STORM WAR MEMORIAL' HAS MADE TREMENDOUS
PROGRESS--AND NOW HAS BEEN OFFICIALLY APPROVED BY CONGRESS AND PRESIDENT
TRUMP.
HOWEVER, WE STILL NEED THE PUBLIC'S HELP, TO MAKE IT A REALITY. HELP US SUPPORT EFFORTS TO ESTABLISH THIS MEMORIAL ON THE
'NATIONAL MALL', BY VISITING 'AMVETS'-DOT-ORG."
