Town of Monument

The Town of Monument wants to make this project happen by giving us a sport at the Town Hall to place the Sculpture! 

The Warbird Sculptor

Robert Henderson was a sculptor located in Canyon City, CO and is known as the warbird sculptor. Mainly recognized as his sculptures at the Air Force Academy. But he recently passed away last year on September 6th 2023.

The Depner family

Earl Depner was a squadron commander in WW2 for the 356th squadron. I didn't get to meet him before his passing in January 2022, but I have had the chance to meet his two sons - Marty and George Depner -  who both live in the Colorado Springs area. They are very proud of their father and have provided me a lot of information and stories about his life and accomplishments.

GE Johnson

GE Johnson is a construction company in Colorado and is supporting this project. They were the company that made the new Polaris Hotel at the Air Force Academy. They helped by donating around $10,000 of construction equipment to install the statue!

Knights of Columbus

The Knights of Columbus council 11514, now renamed to the Earl G. Depner Assembly! This council helped raise around $7,000, as well as getting the word out about the project.

North Magazine

North Magazine helped make this project happen by getting the word out about the project!
