usually, mass mailings go out to individuals who are deemed likely to be interested in a memorial's construction.

these mass mailings have a sales pitch of sorts and ask for a donation.

for example, a lot of airline pilots or licensed pilots are likely to receive the letter on the flight 93 memorial.

some guys toss it in the trash, others send in $100

get enough of them to respond with $100 and you build whatever memorial you can afford.

usually how it works but not always.

Personally, I have a memory. I don't need huge ostentatious memorials. But I guess I am in the minority. To me, bigger memorials does not mean better memorials. I like my memorials small and dignified, not amusement park-like.
Well-said, Platapus. I couldn't agree more.
