The family of Cpl Humberto Sanchez is accepting donations for a memorial monument to be made in his honor at his gravesite in Logansport's Mount Hope Cemetery.
Cpl Sanchez was the Logansport Marine killed in the deadly Kabul bombing August 26, 2021. His mother, Coral Briseño, hopes the memorial planned will help keep Cpl Sanchez's legacy going long after she is gone.
The memorial is being done by Caldwell Monument Company out of Kokomo. Although pricing and exact dates have yet to be set, Coral wants something that represents the hero that her son was.
Coral knows that it will be worth it. Cpl Sanchez's grave is said to be the most visited grave at the cemetery.
Donations can be made to the Corporal Humberto Sanchez Family Fund's GoFundMe. Cpl Sanchez's family also has an account set up where donations can be made at PNC Bank. All checks can be made out to Coral Briseño, with the memo “Humberto Sanchez Monument.”
Coral says the monument is for more than just her son's death. She wants it to also serve as a memory for all those who sacrificed their lives during the 20 year War in Afghanistan.
