Drive for memorial kicks off
By Stacy Smith Kansan staff writer
The ROTC units kicked off a fund-raising drive on Saturday to collect money to build a Korean War Memorial at the University of Kansas.
Cadets and midshipmen from the three ROTC branches took donations after the Kansas-Oklahoma State University football game to raise money for the memorial.
The fund-raising kickoff was part of KU ROTC Day, which also included a fly-by of four F-18 fighter planes before the game, a pre-game march and rifle team demonstration by the three ROTC branches.
"Our goal is to try to have a memorial in place within two years on Veterans' Day Nov. 11, 1911," said Cant. Todd Renner,
