Rhode Island: A Genial History
by Glenn Laxton and Paul F. Eno
Rhode Island is a state with more characters than a Dickens' novel,

movie. And who better to
tell the story in their own breezy way than
two long-time Rhode Island journalists. You'll be surprised,
enlightened, and entertained.

Remember someone or
be remembered for posterity in the Armory's halls --
a very, very special gift:
In
the main hallway of the Armory, there are memorial boards listing veterans –
and there is a unique hand-made plaque representing the Armory’s
crenellations. On that plaque are the names of people who have made contributions. The
plaque is quite full of names, but there is still some room if you wish to
have your name, the name of a loved one, family, or business remembered for
posterity in the halls of the Armory.
Remaining are Sergeant-Major level pieces ($500), Lieutenant ($1,000), Captain
($2,500), Major ($5,000), LtColonel ($7,500), Colonel ($10,000), and General
($25,000).
If
you would like to see the Armory restored and remain open for the thousands of
people who use it, please think about this wonderful way to show your respect
for our US Military and the American community.
Donations are tax deductible.
