     In November 2013, elderly volunteers from the Poston Memorial Monument Committee drove from Sacramento, California to Poston, Arizona to repair the damaged Poston Monument.
     NOTE: The Poston Monument Committee desperately needs 'younger' volunteers who live closer than the charter members, to maintain the site in the future.  The current committee members are all in their late 80's-90's !!!


   The stolen bronze plaque has been replaced.
