 Please Sign Our Petition...

 TO HELP US GAIN APPROVAL FOR THE RELEASE OF THE $7.5 
 MILLION IN CAPITAL FUNDING FOR THE COMPLETION OF THE FINAL
 STAGES OF THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE POLICE HISTORICAL,
 EDUCATIONAL, AND MEMORIAL  CENTER.
 __________________________________________________________

 There has been $7.5 million in Capital Funding allocated in the Governors
 Budget for the construction of Phases II and III of the Historical, 
 Educational, and Memorial Center since it was approved by the
 Legislature in 2004. Phase II consists of the Rotunda, Chapel & Memorial 
 wing which will house the granite brick memorial wall. Phase III will
 complete the Center and will consist of the remaining Historical and
 Educational wings. Without this funding, completion of the Center - which
 is to consist of three wings - is a distant reality.

 To make the dream of building PSP-HEMC come true - all of us - as the
 volunteering supporters of  PSP-HEMC have to build up a strong
 demonstrable consensus together,,, with thousands of supporters
 putting forward their united voice declaring the need to build the
 Pennsylvania State Police Historical, Educational & Memorial Center.

 Please help by signing our Online Petition and forward us your precious
 vote of support.

 hopefully help us towards the release of the funds for the construction of 
 the larger facility which is critical in preserving, exhibiting, and 
 interpreting the noteworthy collection of artifacts and memorabilia of the 
 Pennsylvania State Police which the Historical, Educational, and Memorial 
 Center has amassed.

We the undersigned respectfully request that the 7.5 million in Capital Funding be released to the Pennsylvania State Police-Historical, Educational & Memorial Center.


Releasing the funds will enable the completion of construction to the Rotunda, Chapel & Memorial wing which will house the granite brick
Memorial Wall, that will honor the many Pennsylvania State Troopers who lost their lives in the performance of their duty.


Releasing the funds will also allow for the completion of the Center's remaining Historical and Educational wings that will provide great
educational benefits to the thousands of citizens who visit.
 

However, without this funding, the completion of the Center's three wings is a distant reality.


So, please show your personal support, not only as an elected official, but as a concerned citizen of this great Commonwealth and help preserve the history of the Pennsylvania State Police..."Our Nation's First & Finest".

Thank you for taking the time to read our letter.

Sincerely,
The Petition Signers

As a former, and native, PA resident I feel it is vitally important to remember the sacrifices that the members of the PA State Police have made in defense of the Commonwealth. These fine men and women deserve a permanent memorial and the governor should immediately release the monies for this construction. Gov. Rendell has given money to other less deserving projects, now is the time for the governor to recognize, and pay tribute, to the "Soldiers of the Law" and the fine work they have done over the years for the citizens of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

My grandfather was a Trooper for 32 years. This project is an important way to recognize the contribution of those Troopers who served in the past, to educate the public, and to honor those who gave their life in service of the citizens of the Commonwealth.

How fortunate we are to have the opportunity to have the PSP HEMC located next to the academy in Hershey. I could not think of a better location being only a short distance from the state capitol.

A history as rich and diverse as that of the Pennsylvania State Police merits the release of funding to complete the Historical, Education and Memorial Center. Please release the funding to make this a reality.
