PORTSMOUTH (June 23, 2011) – Service Credit Union recently donated to the New Hampshire Coast Guard Monument Committee with a $15,000 contribution. The monument will be solid granite and just over four feet high. It will feature the Coast Guard Emblem and a Cutter, the backbone of the Coast Guard fleet.
“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 donation will help the committee present to the State of New Hampshire a Coast Guard Monument, located on the Memorial Walk at the New Hampshire State Veterans Cemetery in Boscawen. The dedication will be held August 6, 2011. The Coast Guard motto will also be engraved on the front surface of the monument which reads, “Dedicated to all men and women who served in the U.S. Coast Guard and Coast Guard Auxiliary.”
According to New Hampshire Coast Guard Monument Committee, the monument will be a fitting tribute to all the men and women, who have served, are currently serving and will serve in the New Hampshire Coast Guard.
Service Credit Union is a supporter of the New Hampshire chapters of the Air Force Sergeants Association (AFSA) and the Air Force Association (AFA) for the N.H. Air Force Memorial Fund and the N.H. Army Monument Committee, both located on Memorial Walk.
