Veterans Courtyard Enters Next Phase, Bricks Still Available

submitted by Penny Saltsman

Steve VanMeter (R) and Johnny Childress (L) pour the footer to the second wall in the Veterans Courtyard in the lawn of the Edmonson County Courthouse which will be known as the "Victory Wall."

Penny Saltsman, speaking for the DAV, said construction of this wall will proceed as weather permits. She also noted that the DAV and Auxiliary would like to thank VanMeter and Childress for making it possible to start this phase of the project.

​All spaces on the Veterans Memorial Wall have been taken. The second wall is being built due to the overflow of requests for bricks. Bricks continue to be $35 and anyone wishing to purchase an engraved brick may contact Maurita Miller (270-246-3967), Penny Saltsman (270-784-8285), or Charlotte Kleier (270-779-5382).
