Organizers hope to see the Marion E. Carl Veterans Memorial completed by Memorial Day in 2012. Backers of the project have raised about $11,000, but still need to come up with nearly $7,000 more to complete construction of the memorial, which will be in Hubbard’s Wolfer-Will Greenway. Above, Carl poses in front of a fighter aircraft at an unidentified location during World War II.
Volunteers in the city of Hubbard are making steady progress on plans to build a memorial to honor the nation’s veterans — and to specifically honor a national hero from Hubbard, Marine Corps Maj.
