Illinois Motorcycle Freedom Run organization VP Anna Russo says the organization wants to honor an idea from founders Tony Cutrano and Jerry Kuczera. Russo says the organization wants to build an official museum that would be located in an area next to the wall. She says the organization is trying to raise $500,000 to build it.

She also says she wants people to be able to learn about how each name on the wall lived by being able to type a name into a computer and have a profile show up.

She says Illinois Valley Cellular donated the room where the current museum is. She says the memorabilia from names on the wall would also be placed in the new museum. She says the organization is going to go off of the original blueprints but will make adjustments.
