Veterans Memorial update discussed

The Coke County Veterans Memorial Committee wished to update the 
public on the current status of committee actions. Concerning the
memorial site itself, two loads of white caliche have been delivered 
to spread around the site, two memorial benches are being delivered 
soon, action has been taken to Purchase a piece of military 
equipment to be placed on the site and a new engraving is being 
planned. There have been several names submitted, but a few more 
are needed before the engraver will do the task. The committee is 
gratified with the success of the memorial project, but wants to 
make every effort to get the names of all the eligible veterans 
engraved on the memorial stone.

If you have a family member or friend you want to add, you can 
contact the committee at 324 West Main in Bronte 76933, or call 
473-2851 or 473-3761. A collector's pin will be issued for each 
name inscribed on the memorial. Landscaping has had to be Put off 
because of the drought.

Also on the agenda was the possible naming of Texas Highway 158, 
from the city limits of Bronte to the city Limits of Robert Lee, to 
the Coke County Veterans Memorial Highway. The Committee has
 petitioned the county commimssioners to consider this at their 
next meeting.

The committee would like to have a celebration at the memorial on
Veterans' Day if the new names have been engraved by then. Let's 
have A red, white and blue celebration.
