Names sought for new veterans memorial
A Glencoe Area Veterans Memorial is being planned, according to organizers, and names are being sought for placement on the two monuments that have been purchased.
The memorial is for any veteran that has passed away, living veterans in the area, veterans who have recently moved to the area, and those who have moved away since their service time. Next of kin of the deceased may provide the appropriate information.
Serving with the Guard or a Reserve unit during peacetime also qualifies veterans to be included.
There is room for 30 names on each monument. The cost for three lines of information is $200. Please contact Larry Gutknecht, 507-430-8403, or Jerry Scharpe, 320-864-5580 or 320-864-3288, with information. Memorial information forms also may be picked up at the Glencoe VFW or the Glencoe City Center.
