The document discusses plans to purchase and donate a Lone Sailor Statue memorial to the City of Orlando by 2013 to honor those in the Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, and Merchant Marine. It would be located in Blue Jacket Park, built on the former site of the Navy Recruit Training Center. The goals are to recognize Orlando's history as a Navy town and inspire youth. A $355,000 budget is outlined, with $35,000 already raised through donations. The committee is seeking additional funds and support through donations, naming opportunities, and events.
