Fremont County veterans and their families will gather this Saturday to dedicate the latest listing of names added to the wall at the Veterans War Memorial at the Fremont County Airport. Fremont County Veterans Service Officer Betty Hanawalt says the names of 72 veterans were engraved on the wall earlier this spring.
Hanawalt says a brief dedication ceremony is scheduled at 10 o'clock Saturday morning at the airport. Chaplain Scott Simpson will deliver the dedication address. American Legion Post #13 will provide the color guard while Boy Scout Troop 121 will perform a flag folding ceremony. Tim Grabin will close the ceremony with the playing of Taps.
Hanawalt notes that the brick engravings are typically done every one or two years dependent upon a minimum order of 50 name engravings. The latest group of veterans' names came from the annual concerted effort during the holiday season last winter. Names engraved on the wall can honor any veteran, living or deceased. There is a $50 engraving charge for each name that is turned in to the Veterans Service Office.
