PORTSMOUTH (May 31, 2011) – Service Credit Union Executive Vice President William Newman was in attendance at the unveiling of the United States Army memorial Monday in Boscawen. Service Credit Union acknowledges the significance of this monument, which recognizes the brave men and women of New Hampshire who have sacrificed for our freedom.
New Hampshire Governor John Lynch thanked New Hampshire Air Force veterans for their dedication and service at Monday’s event for the State of New Hampshire Army Monument, located on the Memorial Walk at the New Hampshire State Veterans Cemetery.
Service Credit Union donated generously to the New Hampshire Army Monument Committee earlier this year. On hand to accept to the donation from Service Credit Union President/CEO Gordon Simmons were David W. Follansbee, Board of Directors of New Hampshire State Veterans Cemetery Association and also a member of the New Hampshire Army Monument Committee and Brigadier General Ret. Stephen Curry, Army Monument Committee Chairman.
“Service Credit Union and its members have a long history of supporting our brave men and women who serve in the military and this contribution continues that tradition,” says Gordon Simmons, President/CEO of Service Credit Union. “Our roots came from a military base when the credit union opened in 1957 and now extends to service members around the world. Therefore, it seems especially fitting with our strong connection to the military that we contribute to this worthy cause.”
The Army Monument is a tribute to soldiers of many generations, both past and present. It incorporates many natural elements such as grass and evergreens which allow it to blend well with the natural beauty of the wooded lot area.
Service Credit Union is a past supporter of the New Hampshire chapters of the Air Force Sergeants Association (AFSA) and the Air Force Association (AFA) for the NH Air Force Memorial Fund.
Service Credit Union is a full service financial institution, offering a wide range of financial products to its members. With 35 branch locations including two staffed 24/7 contact centers, and full internet banking services, Service Credit Union serves anyone who lives or works in New Hampshire (excluding Coos County), 4 towns in Cape Cod, MA., and all branches of the U.S. Military and Department of Defense employees and their families.
