Sun Enterprises Contributes to Vietnam Traveling Memorial Wall Event
Donation Continues Sun's Commitment to Honoring Veterans

THORNTON, Colorado - Sun Enterprises, Inc., one of the nation's premier motorcycle and power sports dealers and one of Thornton's oldest businesses, presented the Thornton Veterans Memorial Foundation with a $1,000.00 contribution on Friday, February 22. This contribution will be used to help the Foundation bring the Vietnam Traveling Memorial Wall to the city and put on a premier event during the annual Independence Day celebration.

Of all the war memorials, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial - the Wall - arguably invokes the strongest emotional reaction of any and it is the single most visited memorial in the country. The Foundation, working in conjunction with the city of Thornton, has arranged to bring a 3/5 scale version of the memorial to the city from July 3 to July 7, 2008. The Wall will be available for public viewing 24 hours a day on those dates at the multipurpose fields at the Margaret W. Carpenter Recreation Center (11151 Colorado Boulevard, Thornton, CO 80233).

This event would not be possible but for the generous contribution of Ron Lang, owner of Sun Enterprises, his company, and other area businesses and organizations. As a "Two Star Sponsor" of the event and a long standing supporter of veterans, Mr. Lang and Sun continue to demonstrate their commitment to not only Thornton but also to all servicemen and women and veterans.

About the Thornton Veterans Memorial Foundation

Founded in 2005, the Thornton Veterans Memorial Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization established by citizens of Thornton, Colorado with the sole purpose of building and maintaining a veterans memorial. Our nation's veterans have served and protected the United States for 230 years. They have made sacrifices small and large, all to ensure the freedom of this great nation. A fitting and proper tribute within our city is a small way of showing our appreciation for their service. Privately funded and created, the Foundation endeavors to make this memorial a reality for the city, its citizens and all veterans.

The memorial will pay tribute to all veterans of the past, present and future. Located near the Thornton Recreation Center at 108 th Avenue and Colorado Boulevard, the memorial will be centrally located and easily accessible from anywhere in the north metro area. The design, based on a five point star with each point representing each branch of military service, will be over 150 feet in diameter. A pentagon and five-sided obelisk will be in the center of the memorial with individual monuments for the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard surrounding it.
