More bricks honoring veterans recently were placed in the sidewalk at the Saline County Courthouse in Marshall.
According to information from former Saline County Northern District Commissioner Charlie Guthrie, despite the rain, fire fighters from the Marshall Fire Department helped in placing 53 bricks in the “Veterans Memory Walk Of Honor” on Saturday, May 11. The Memorial Day Ceremony is scheduled for May 27.
Bricks still can be purchased, and more will be placed prior to Veterans’ Day in November.
Guthrie says the veteran does not have to be from Saline County.
Bricks honoring veterans cost $50 each, and applications are available at the Saline County Collector’s, Recorder of Deeds or Treasurer’s office at the courthouse; at Dale Zank’s State Farm Insurance office; or from Ed Reis at Wood & Huston Bank in Marshall.
For more information, contact Guthrie at (660) 631-9355.
