ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Oct. 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Five
Anchorage-area Lithia Motors dealerships have raised over $10,000
for the Spartan Brigade Memorial during the three-day Lithia
Military Family Appreciation Sale. The new Spartan Brigade Memorial
is being built to honor Soldiers from Fort Richardson's 4th Brigade
Combat Team (Airborne) who gave the ultimate sacrifice in Iraq. The
Lithia Military Family Appreciation Sale was held from September
20-23 at the Sears Mall where Lithia Dodge of South Anchorage,
Chevrolet of South Anchorage, Lithia Hyundai of Anchorage, Lithia
Chrysler Jeep of Anchorage, and BMW of Anchorage each designated
$100 from each pre-owned vehicle sold. Lithia collected $10,300
during the three-day offsite event. Media, military, community
leaders and residents at-large are encouraged to attend the Friday,
October 26 ceremony at 3:00 pm (Alaskan Time Zone) at Chevrolet of
South Anchorage where Dave Tullos, Multi-Store Manager for Lithia
dealerships in Alaska, and Troy Jarvis, General Manager of
Chevrolet of South Anchorage, will present CPT Clinton Holmes with
a check for $10,300. "These funds will help construct a memorial
honoring the commitment and sacrifice of our servicemen and women,"
said Sergeant Major Mark C. Imler, (4th Brigade Combat Team, Rear
Detachment Command Sergeant Major). "Great partnerships make great
communities and we are extremely fortunate to have Lithia on our
team." Robert Sacks, Lithia's Director of Community Relations said,
"We are proud of Alaska's military personnel who put their lives on
the line to protect our freedoms. Their dedication and perseverance
has been a great example for the entire community and inspired
Lithia Motors to help make a difference. The Spartan Brigade
Memorial is a clear signal that Anchorage does not forget our
fallen heroes." The Spartan Brigade Memorial will be located at the
home of the 4-25th Brigade Combat Team (Airborne), Fort Richardson,
Alaska. The memorial will consist of a brick walk way flanked on
each side by three Alaskan Fir trees, representing the six
battalions of the Spartan Brigade. The monument itself will be a
black granite pyramid. One side will list the names of our fallen
Spartan Heroes. The second side will be a brief history of the
Spartan Brigade since its activation July 14, 2005. The final side
will depict three ancient Spartan warriors standing upon a hill,
guiding a single modern Spartan on their journey to the heavens.
