Cobra Attack Helicopter New war memorial in Vernal comes with its own history and miles By Darren Jones Vernal's Local Veterans of Foreign Ware Chapter 5560 has been awarded for the monuments they have placed here in Vernal in the past, but there is something particularly special about the most recent monument project. Although many armed forces tributes are made out of metal like this one was, not many can say that it has seen the front line action, and flown thousands of miles. As you go past the courthouse in Vernal you may see this auspicious addition to the war testimonials that line the front ofthe complex. A Cobra attack helicopter sits on top of four metal girders decked out in the same n aircolor of green as the craft. On Jan. 8 the retiring of this helicopter was brought to my attention by Maj. Keith Campbell, who new up in the Uintah Basin, said Duane Hall, commander of Vernal's VFW 5560. Although we know it would be great for the area, we also knew it came with some challenges. The military has several requirements when their equipment goes into public hands. In the flret place, two-ma- only an organization like the Veterans of Foreign Wars or the American Legion may apply for such machinery. They also require that it hcprominentlydisplayed in the community. that the entity acquiring it accept all liability and costs, and gain the approval of the County Commission , the Army itself, and the Department of Defense. There were some who thought the proper place rorthe Cobra was in front of the local National Guard office, but we t bought t he best place for it was with the other memorials in front of the courthouse building, explained Hall. With the approval of the Uintah County Commission, the helicopter found its new home. Members ofthe VFW Vernal Chapter raised $40,000 to pay for the relocation and placement of the helicopter in Vernal fmm start to finish. We even have a few pennies to spare, said Hall. The helicopter was placed on top of Us perch in the middle of October witnessed by a small crowd. This monument is dedicated to all five branches of the Armed Forces: Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, and Coast Guard. Vernal has been well represented in all five with Vernal residents being members of the Army Seals, 82 Airborne pilots Special Division and 6 among others. The 5560 chapter ofthe Veterans of Foreign Wars recently gave their last progress report to this Uintah County Commission. Commissioners said they are pleased with the sddi-tion to the front of the courthouse complex. The VFW 5560 is working on erecting plaques and signs to explain, commemorate and to give credit to those who brought this to the com- munity, said Hall. F-1- . ' . ; Story Idem? Bee a story?
