The Fremont County Veterans Service Office had a great response of holiday orders for engraved bricks to honor veterans by listing their names and military service on the memorial wall at the Fremont County War Memorial Park at the airport. With a minimum of 50 orders needed to engrave the next group of bricks, that number was met and exceeded. Veterans Service Officer Betty Hanawalt says she now has over 60 orders in hand. The engraving will be completed later this spring when warmer weather prevails.
That means there is still time over the next several weeks to submit any additional orders that can be included on the engraving work this spring. The cost to engrave the name of a veteran on the memorial wall is $50. Veterans do not have to be Fremont County or Colorado residents. You can honor a veteran, living or deceased, regardless of their hometown. For full details on how to order a brick to honor a veteran call Hanawalt at the Veterans Service Office at 276-7400.
