WOODS CROSS -- A Boy Scout is asking the community's help for his Eagle Scout project. Cameron Chambers is putting together a veterans' memorial to be permanently displayed at Woods Cross City Hall. He needs not only monetary support, but names of veterans living in the Woods Cross area for the display. The 13-year-old South Davis Junior High School student has already collected about 50 names on a Web site set up for the project, www.wxveteransmemorial.homestead.com, and on the city's Web site, but knows there are likely hundreds of veterans living in the city. Those eligible include veterans who own property in Woods Cross, or veterans who are children of property owners in the city.

Chambers plans on dedicating the memorial on Veterans's Day, Nov. 11, 2006, and will need to have the names into the monument makers by September 11.

The memorial will be made of three pieces of black granite, which will be mounted on the north, outside wall of city hall.

Chambers has already raised $956, but is asking for additional donations from the community. The Woods Cross City Council will match whatever Chambers raises.

Chambers said he decided on the rather unique Eagle project because his brother Ben is in the military, "and I wanted to do something he could come home and see." Dad Joel said it's also something that will be recognizable as an Eagle project.
