Veterans marker to be updated

By Melinda L. Lucas

Anyone who would like to add a veteran’s name to the Shackelford County veterans memorial marker is asked to contact Mary Kay O’Connor at 325-660-2498 by Monday, May 5.

O’Connor hopes to have any new names engraved on the marker in time for Memorial Day on May 30.

Proof of military service is required.

The cost of engraving each name is currently $95, but there may be funding available if money is preventing someone from adding a name to the marker, according to O’Connor.
