HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Reno County Veterans Memorial is getting ready to have more names put up.

"We're going to have 315 more names engraved," said Kelly Danyluk with the memorial. "This will be the week of the 22nd this month, so the week of Thanksgiving. One full panel. It's a 4 by 8 piece of granite that will be engraved on site by LaDuke Memorial out of Concordia."

The new panel will begin a new organization of the names going forward.

"Our new names that we're putting on will start, each panel, as we put them up, will be alphabetized per panel going forward," Danyluk said. "There will be a line signifying where the initial names were printed versus the new names. Those will just be A-Z, per panel, as we go on."

Over 15,000 names have been submitted for the memorial thus far.
