(AP) \u2014 The mother of a Marine who was killed in Iraq is pledging to rebuild a war memorial that was destroyed by a <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/872186b0b79e45bd303a2113ad88e85c\">dam failure<\/a> in central Michigan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI sat there and cried,\u201d Kim Burgess said after visiting the scene in Sanford last week. \u201cI just felt like I had let our veterans down. I know it wasn\u2019t my fault. I just feel like I worked so hard to give them something, and it was just destroyed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Sanford Flagpole Monument was washed away by the Tittabawassee River when the Sanford dam failed during steady rain last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The memorial was built with a lot of hands. More than 10 businesses donated money or supplies, and the Sanford American Legion Riders held fundraisers over three years, the Detroit Free Press <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freep.com\/story\/sports\/columnists\/jeff-seidel\/2020\/05\/25\/sanford-flood-war-memorial\/5252813002\/\">reported<\/a>. About $70,000 was raised to build it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sanford&#8217;s Memorial Day parade started and ended at the monument last year. There were seven aluminum flag poles that honored every branch of the military. The poles were designed to hold their ground in strong winds but not a rare flood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"125\" height=\"200\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ryan-burgess-2450851.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-62059\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Marine Lance Cpl. Ryan J. Burgess died December 21, 2006, in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Burgess, 21, of Sanford, Mich.; assigned to the 3rd Battalion, 4th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, I Marine Expeditionary Force, Twentynine Palms, Calif.; killed Dec. 21 while conducting combat operations in Anbar province, Iraq. Also killed was Lance Cpl. Ryan L. Mayhan.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Burgess\u2019 son, <a href=\"https:\/\/thefallen.militarytimes.com\/marine-lance-cpl-ryan-j-burgess\/2450851\" target=_blank>Lance Cpl.

She is promising to rebuild the memorial and add a flag pole to honor first responders who saved people during the flood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A mud-stained American flag was recovered when the water receded. Burgess wants to permanently display it to remember the flood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf it takes us 10 years, we\u2019re gonna do this for our veterans,&#8221; Burgess said. &#8220;We want these veterans to know that we still love them. We still care for them.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gold Star mom vows to rebuild Michigan memorial washed out by
