THE COL JOHN W RIPLEY MEMORIAL FOUNDATION TRUST

The trust has been established for the principal purpose of providing funds to have a Memorial created and installed at the USMC Museum in Quantico, Virginia.

The memorial will include a black Granite monument with bronze plaque of Col. Ripley.  It is intended to include the names of each and every Marine who served in Lima Company while Col. Ripley was company commander, especially those who gave their lives while defending our country under Col. Ripley’s leadership.

The project requires approximately $70,000 to complete.  Any funds remaining after completion will be donated to the Marine Corps museum in the name of John and Moline Ripley.
