According to Arbogast, Scruggs liquidated some land he had received as an inheritance and started VVMF with a whopping $2,800 — enough to hire a lawyer to incorporate the organization and hold a press conference, which took place on Memorial Day, 1979, to announce plans to raise $1 million to build a memorial.
