Labor Roundtable of SW Washington donates to Korean ‘Wall of Remembrance’ Officers of the Labor Roundtable of Southwest Wash- ington on Oct. 11 presented a check for $5,045 to the Clark County, Washington, chapter of the National Korean War Veterans Association Inc., the Richard L. Quatier Chapter 321. The money will go toward building a “Wall of Remembrance” at the Korean War Veterans Memorial located on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. President Barack Obama signed legislation in October 2016 authorizing construction of a wall to remember the 36,574 men and women who lost their lives in the war. However, Congress didn’t attach any money to the bill, so the estimated $15 million price tag has to be paid for through pri- vate donations. The Clark County veterans group has been on a mission to help raise that money. With the Roundtable’s donations, the group has raised nearly $70,000. Nationally, nearly $6 million has been col- lected. Presenting the check at left are Labor Round- table President Ed Barnes (center), Vice President Dave Letinich (right), and Secretary Treasurer Roy Jennings (second from right). Barnes is a retiree of IBEW Local 48, Letinich is a retiree of the Laborers Union, and Jennings is a retiree of Amalgamated Transit Union Local 757. Barnes also serves as com- mander of Chapter 321. The Labor Roundtable raised the money at its 36th annual awards banquet held Sept. 27 at the Vancouver Hilton Hotel and Conven- tion Center. The Labor Roundtable of Southwest Washington is an independent organization that meets every other Friday to discuss politics and other topics of importance to residents of Southwest Washington.
