A short ceremony was held this morning on the northwest corner of the Bates County courthouse lawn as the Bates County Elks Lodge #2653 paid tribute to our local veterans. The tribute has been an ongoing process and currently has over 1,000 veterans names listed on public display.
In upcoming projects, the Elks plan to place a monument to honor branches of the military, add landscaping around the tribute and install a directory of Veterans names to be placed in the Bates County Courthouse, the Butler Public Library and the Bates County Museum.
