The American Fallen Warrior Memorial Foundation is currently on a national fundraising tour and will be stopping Wednesday in Junction City.

The foundation is raising money for a proposed $30 million Memorial in Kansas City, Ks. Their tour features to artifacts from the slurry wall of the World Trade Center. One of the artifacts, Goldstar11, will be on display at the Memorial when it is completed. The other will be on display at the Fort Douglass Military Museum, located on the University of Utah campus.

Tonya Evans, Founder and CEO of the American Fallen Warrior Memorial Foundation, said that Junction City is the most important stop on the tour because it does fall on 9/11. ” Nine eleven in Junction City, right next to Fort Riley, we felt was the perfect place to unveil these artifacts for Kansas.”

The group will be setting up in heritage park at 2:00 p.m. Wednesday. “We are going to have the artifacts open to the public at three o’clock in the afternoon and then we will have a concert and official unveiling of the artifacts that evening at seven.”

The concert will feature country music artists Nathan Osmond and Diana Nagy.

Evans also mentioned that joining them on the tour is retired New York City Firefighter, Scott Schrimpe, “He was at Ground Zero. He lost six of his crew there.”

Schrimpe will be on hand to share his story.

The tour started August 31st, in Fort Meyers, Florida, and will wrap up October 7th, in Salt Lake City, Utah.
