Time is short. The chapel may not survive another northern winter...
Years of disuse, the harsh Midwest climate, and a federal budget focusing on living veterans… all of these factors have taken their toll on our buildings. With its wood-frame construction, the Chapel has suffered considerable damage, damage that is escalating. Please help us today with your donation or a 3-year pledge. |
