U.S.S. Arizona Memorial 2012 Golf Event and Banquet

AMVETS Hawaii – Admi­ral Macke and Gen­eral Lee will Tee Off with our Return­ing Warriors and Wounded Marines at Kaneohe Klip­per Golf Course on Fri­day, May 25, 2012.

“Our AMVETS USS Ari­zona Memo­r­ial Post is com­mit­ted to the Legacy of our USS Ari­zona Memo­r­ial and our Nation’s Vet­er­ans,” said Com­man­der of AMVETS Hawaii Dono­van A. Lazarus.

It is with great plea­sure that AMVETS have this oppor­tu­nity to orga­nize the offi­cial USS Ari­zona Memo­r­ial 2012 Golf Event & Ban­quet fundraiser event, along with our part­ners: Pacific His­toric Parks, National Park Ser­vice the Lazarus Foun­da­tion, Inc and Armed Ser­vice Exchange.

This com­ing Memo­r­ial Day of 2012, marks the 50th Anniver­sary of the USS Ari­zona Memo­r­ial. Unfor­tu­nately, after nearly 50 years in salt water, the Memo­r­ial needs a lot of major repairs. In order to raise funds to pre­serve what remains of the sunken bat­tle­ship USS Ari­zona, the final rest­ing place for many of the 1,177 crew­men killed on Decem­ber 7th, 1941.

Our goal is to raise $80,000 of the $1,000,000 needed for the restora­tion of the USS Ari­zona Memo­r­ial. This would also be a great oppor­tu­nity to golf with our Return­ing War­riors, while hon­or­ing their ser­vice and sac­ri­fice to the Nation. Pro­ceeds from this event will go directly to the refur­bish­ment of the USS Ari­zona Memo­r­ial.
