Citizens of Manhattan and Riley County are reminded that twice a year names of Veterans and loved ones are placed in the patio area of the Riley County Armed Forces Memorial. This year, being the 100^th Anniversary of the 1^st Infantry Division, would be an ideal time to honor your veteran with a memorial brick.

Names to be added in time for Veterans Day must be received by October 13^th to allow time for engraving of the bricks. The cost remains $75 for 3 lines with up to 14 characters or spaces per line. You may place your order for a brick at the Riley County Clerk’s Office in the Riley County Office Building, 110 Courthouse Plaza.

The next opportunity to add names will be for Memorial Day 2018. Make plans to participate in this year’s Veteran’s Day activities, which will be held on Friday, November 10^th.
