Delta Theta Tau sorority members Mary Penn and Marianne Applegate present Wayne Long, Hamilton County Veterans Organization treasurer and Hamilton County Veterans Service officer, a check for $200.
HCV President Ron Wilson said the donation will be used to purchase two memorial stones listing the names of service men and women from the county who were killed in action in World War I or the Persian Gulf War. Wilson said the new memorial stones will be placed on the current War Monument in Downtown Noblesville, which lists the soldiers killed in action during World War II. Wilson added that the names of soldiers from Korea and Vietnam are located in the veterans section of Crownland Cemetery in Noblesville.
“All veterans, veteran organizations, families, service clubs and businesses are asked to send their tax-deductible donations to HCV C/O HCVSO, P.O. Box 503, Noblesville, IN 46061,” said Wilson. “Thank you for helping honor our Hamilton County heroes.”
