(KNZA)--Work is progressing on a memorial honoring Doniphan County veterans.
Stan Ruhnke , representing the Doniphan County Veterans Memorial Association, updated the County Commission last week on the project.
The Veteran’s Memorial is being constructed on the northwest portion of the courthouse courtyard.
Ruhnke said Bird Memorial, of Atchison, will begin engraving the 84-hundred pound granite stone depicting each of the U.S. Armed Forces, with the Memorial and brick work to hopefully be complete in time for a dedication ceremony on Memorial Day this year, May 30th.
Ruhnke says the Memorial will be set on concrete pillars with dirt underneath, for future maintenance on the monument.
The Memorial will provide for 5-thousand names of those who have served since World War I.
Ruhnke says members of the American Legion are still seeking donations to help pay the remaining cost of the Memorial project and upkeep.
