The crew of the USS Edsall DD219 displayed extraordinary bravery and sacrifice during the Second World War. Led by Captain JJ Nix and Executive Officer John Fairbanks, the entire crew faced overwhelming odds with courage and determination. Their actions have inspired generations, and their story deserves to be remembered and honored by all who value freedom and service.
To ensure their legacy endures, we are raising funds to build a monument in Fort Worth, Texas, the birthplace of Captain Nix. This monument will serve as a lasting tribute to the entire crew, recognizing their heroism and the ultimate sacrifice they made. Funds raised will go directly toward the construction of the monument and its ongoing maintenance, so that future generations can learn about and reflect on the bravery of these remarkable individuals.
By supporting this fundraiser, you help keep the memory of the USS Edsall DD219 and its crew alive. Your contribution will help create a place where families, veterans, and community members can gather to honor their story and the values they represent. Thank you for helping us pay tribute to their courage and sacrifice.
