American Huey 369 Founder John Walker says they set a fundraising goal of $4 million for the new museum. He says $3 million will be used for con- struction and $1 million will be used as a rainy-day fund and to provide scholarships for children of veterans who were killed in action. The organiza- tion has raised more than $2.3 million so far, mostly from smaller donations known as founder donations. Anyone who contributes $1000 is considered a founder and their name will be printed on a large bronze plaque in front of the new museum.
