HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Kelly Danyluk with the Reno County Veterans Memorial told Hutch Post that a new panel of names was finished earlier this month.
"On the 18th, last Wednesday, LaDuke Memorial came over and engraved 315 new names," Danyluk said. "Those are names that we possibly missed the first run. They'll be on the far north side."
The new names will be alphabetized per panel going forward. The original list of around 14,000 names was alphabetized throughout.
"The guidelines are service from the Civil War through today, peace time or war time," Danyluk said. "You have to have either been born in Reno County or lived in Reno County for 10 years to be eligible."
It took the crew about a day to do the work as they engraved there on site, but they wanted to do it when it was warm enough to be sure there would be no damage.
