Main Page E.R.W Taps Fundraising Memorials REUNION!!! Links Last update: 27 October 2005
Dear Classmates:
I. LTC Chad H. Buehring Campus Memorial
I am very pleased to announce that the Class of 1985 plans to memorialize our classmate, LTC Chad Buehring '85, with the dedication of a new parade ground bench, tree and inscribed granite ground stone at the southwest corner of the parade ground, by the Cobra Helicopter and Law Barracks. This is the last such naming opportunity around the parade ground and we are proud to sponsor it in the name of our classmate, who gave the ultimate sacrifice for his country while in the line of duty on October 26, 2003, in Iraq.
The formal dedication of the parade ground memorial is planned for the morning of November 12th, 2005, during our 20th Year Reunion activities on campus. Please plan to be there.
**Any monies donated toward this memorial or challenge in excess of the $10,000 will be put toward the initial funding of a permanent Class of 1985 Scholarship Fund to be fully funded in the coming years.

The Citadel Foundation (Memo line: Class of 1985 - Buehring Memorial) 171 Moultrie Street The Citadel Charleston, SC 29409II. Trust Account for Children’s Education Also Established
Additionally, over a year ago, our classmates Jarrel Wigger, Billy Hayes, and others were forward thinking and established a Buehring Family Trust, specifically for the education of Chad's two children, Andrew and Nick. The class is in possession of a copy of the official Trust account documents. The forthcoming reunion letter will give details as to how you can support this important endeavor as part of our 20th Year Reunion activities. You will be able to make a separate contribution to the Educational Trust Fund with your reunion registration packets (Gifts to this Trust account can not be made through The Citadel Foundation). A special presentation of this Trust will also be made to Chad's surviving wife Alicia and two children during the Campus Memorial Dedication Ceremony.
