/// Sketch
This monument is in memory of Joseph Ileto who was tragically gunned downed in a hate crime on August 10, 1999. Illeto was working as a mailman as he was approached by a man asking to send a letter. As Ileto agreed to mail the letter, the man pulled out his gun and shot Ileto nine times. Mainstream media had mostly brush over the murder, but publicized the fact that the gunman wounded three Jewish children, a teenage counselor, and an office worker instead. This monument was built to memorialize Joseph Ileto because the mainstream media will not.
The monument is a miniature of a chess table in a gondola in a park. Joseph Ileto was a chess master. He had been featured occasionally in magazines and newspapers for his accomplishments in the game. We were hoping to bring the community together by having chess tables in the park so people could interact more with each other while playing the game that Ileto loved. We would like to have it built in Chino Hills State Park, Ileto’s hometown.
Students investigate the role memorials and monuments play in expressing a society’s values and shaping its memory by studying existing memorials and then designing their own.

Wall Monument Committee Extends Appreciation
The Saugus Veterans Wall/Monument Committee, a subcommittee of the Veterans Council, recently presented plaques to local families, organizations and businesses in appreciation of their sponsorship of the War monuments located in Veterans Park.
The engraved, black granite monuments, dedicated this past Veterans Day, stand as a permanent tribute to the people who defended our nation during her armed conflicts.
The committee, headed by Marty Graney, built upon the idea of Rob Sipple who wished to honor his father along with those who fought in the Korean Conflict. The committee sought and found local residents and businesses to fund the remaining seven monuments dedicated to the Civil War, Spanish-American War, WW1, WW2, VietNam, Persian Gulf and the Global War on Terrorism.
Committee members include Marty Graney Chairman, Nick Milo Deputy Chairman, active members from the three Veterans organizations and Veterans Support Groups; Shirley Bogdan, Jane Christofro, Rich Christopher, Louis Davis, Joann Devine, Rick Fail, Kristine Foye , Andrea Gayle-Bennett, Frank Manning, Fred Nuzzo, Stephen Rich, Rob Sipple, Pam Travis, Melita Davis and Diane Walsh.
Again, the committee would like to thank all those who helped make the vision of Veterans Park become a reality, a place that expresses the gratitude the people of Saugus have for the men and women who take the oath to serve.

Group 8′s Tumblr documenting their monument project for Spring 2015
For our monument project my team decided to collaborate on a family tree. We did so because they are significant on finding peoples origins and helping people better understand their roots or purpose in life. My group has decided to memorialize Thien Min Ly whose life was wrongfully taken early 1996. Our family tree however has a different meaning. Instead of the family blood ties that unite everyone, we invite every single race to become family. Our tree is 4 feet tall and pure white to symbolize purity: either the purity a victim has lost due to hate crimes, or the purity a family has kept after suffering hard times in a new country. The tree is also in bloom, full of leaves to represent life, and life’s continuation. The lights on the tree are there to help direct our fallen members to the light, and keep them away from darkness. The lights are there to provoke forgiveness, because if we live in hate, then we can’t overcome it. The branches will be flourished with photos people are willing to share, but its trunk will resemble the American Dream. The trunk is what allows us to be family, it’s what ties all our stories together as we all pursue the dream of wanting or succeeding to have better lives. We invite people to bring a self portrait, family photos, deceased friend or family photos, write a story on the back, and hang the photo on the tree. With these photos sharing a common purpose, we end up uniting everyone.
