This is the "Year of
Davis"! There will be many memorials and commemorations all
across the country this year honoring the 200th anniversary of
the birth of Jefferson Davis. It is so extremely important that
we remember all of this great man's deeds and realize the full
extent of his influence from coast to coast. In an effort to
commemorate Jefferson Davis' ties way out here in the
pacific-northwest the Oregon SCV and the Washington UDC have
created the Jefferson Davis Park just north of Portland, Oregon,
near Ridgefield, Washington. The park, overlooking
Interstate-5, also contains an old original Jefferson Davis
Highway monument and a historical marker. It is in its
finishing stages of construction, but a lot of costs still
remain and the grand opening is fast approaching.!
You can be the difference! Please buy a memorial brick to help
us finance this great tribute to Jefferson Davis! Your purchase
of a memorial brick will not only help us raise the much needed
funds to complete this important project but will also leave a
permanent tribute to someone special to you. The gray memorial
bricks come in two sizes and are imprinted with black letters.
