At the Presidio Trust Offices on May 26, 2015, KWMF President Judge Quentin L. Kopp (Ret.) presented Presidio Trust Executive Director Craig Middleton with the initial transfer of funds to the Presidio Trust. The $358,000 check is the first installment for the Memorial design and construction costs. KWMF Secretary John R. Stevens and Treasurer Donald F. Reid were also present for the brief but meaningful ceremony.

These initial funds will allow the Trust to begin contracting with the main design and construction professionals, and then commence work on the Memorial. It has taken protracted and arduous efforts to get to this stage, but we’re now underway at last. And we would not be here without the generosity of all our donors, to whom we offer our sincere gratitude.
