Military Tribute to Kenneth Lee Worley
This is an ongoing Military Tribute to Medal of Honor recipient Kenneth Lee Worley. It is spearheaded by a veteran who has become a good friend in the cause…Bruce Salisbury.
Bruce has been working non-stop night and day since I first met him earlier this year on the memory of Kenneth Lee Worley. If you are an artist, a sculptor or know someone who is, please have them contact Bruce at the email or telephone number below.
This is the next stage in the project. I hope one day to bring it all together and be able to tell you the COMPLETE story of our young hero Kenneth Lee Worley.
Dad offers a strong American Valor Military Tribute to Bruce Salisbury for his untiring efforts to bring well deserved attention to a young man who gave his all for our country that others may live.
Kenneth Lee Worley
Memorial Concept
A memorial Bronze to honor Lance Corporal Kenneth Lee Worley, USMC, CMOH.
I would like to see a bronze of Kenneth Lee Worley shown standing easy in his combat gear and alongside him a bronze of one of the Young Marines who are dedicated to Worley’s honor. The young man, age 8 or 9 to be looking up at and saluting his hero.
Conceptually, the Young Marine will represent Worley when he was young and dreaming of growing up. It will represent Worley harking back to his own childhood, as well as the son that Worley never met and young people all over America who look up to the ideal of heroism.
I don’t think Worley should be presented in Dress Uniform or wearing medals or devices other than his rifle and gear and the working tools of a Marine Corps Lance Corporal in Vietnam in 1968.
I would like to ask any artist who might like to attempt sketching their vision of this memorial concept to contact me and let me share what they see and feel. While I cannot offer to pay you for your effort, I will let people know who was the sketch artist in every case.

I am Ken,s sister and I love this idea. My family kind of gave up ever seeing a memorial or tribute to Kenneth. The marine corps was suppose to name something for him but he has fell into a deep crack and they have forgotten him. I am so honored that so many people are taking such a part in this memorial.
Thank you all

Nell,
It is indeed great to hear from you. It gives a new life form to this whole movement to honor Kenneth. Have you ever spoken to Bruce Salisbury? If not, I know he would love to hear from you and talk with you. His contact information is on the latest post about Kenneth.
Please contact Bruce, because at this point we are hungry for all the information we can get. I have promised Bruce that once his research is done on Kenneth, I would be more than honored to publish the entire story here on American Valor.
Thank you for talking to us and commenting. I pray that God be with you and I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas. It is like a majestic homecomeing at last.
Thank you Nell!

Bruce, This sounds wonderful and it breaks my heart that this country is not standing up for their lost and wounded soldiers now and then. I pray this all changes. God Bless, nancy
