FAIRBORN — The Fairborn Military Veterans Memorial Project committee is proud to announce that the winner of the Military Veterans Memorial logo contest is Robert Rogers.

Rogers was raised in the City of Fairborn, graduating from Fairborn City Schools in 2011 and from Wittenberg University in 2015. He is currently working at the Speedway Corporation in Enon. He said he loved art and credits his grandmother for his interest in arts.

“I wanted to give back to the community and especially the veterans who have given so much for their country,” Rogers said. “This seemed like the right thing to do.”

The design is a symbol to the Pentagon and has five branches of service on each side, which is giving each credit for service.

The committee of individuals for the Fairborn Military Veterans Memorial Project are working and volunteering their time in fundraising events and hope that the community and businesses will help support the memorial project too. A 501c3 tax deduction, checks can be made out to Greene County Community Foundation. In the memo of the check, be sure to state: Fairborn Military Veterans Memorial Project.
