Memorial Wall event canceled, three veterans to be honored

WAITSBURG—The annual Memorial Day event held at the Memorial Wall in the Waitsburg City Cemetery has been canceled this year due to the coronavirus. The American Legion and Auxiliary’s Veteran’s Memorial Wall Program wishes to honor the veterans who have passed on this year.

They include  Elmer Hays who served in the Navy during WWII and Korea, Allyn E. Malean who served in the Marines during WWII, and Ivan K. Keve who served in the Army during WWII. These names will be added to the Wall and honored at our program next year. If you would like to donate to this project for upkeep and the statue the group is planning please remit to Veterans Memorial Wall P.O. Box 311, Waitsburg, WA 99361.
