At last weekends family luncheon we discussed the East Prairie Veterans Memorial. As stated in a Memorial Day post (click to view) there are family members that should be eligible for inclusion on the memorial and that there presently were no family members represented.
Since then we learned that two family members, Jesse and Billy Davis are now represented on the memorial with their own bricks. (see picture below), and Blaine Davis will soon also be represented.
We discussed what the criteria was and how we might go about getting other family member on the memorial. The criteria for obtaining bricks for family members is a $30 fee and information on their service.
Our plan is to collect $30 (as well as donations) from family members who wish for their Veteran's to be represented on the memorial. Based on the family members represented in the family history book “Military Roll Call, The Littrell Family Of Mississippi County, Missouri”, we have listed known veterans below. If you would like to have your Veteran included on the Memorial then send $30 (check or postal money order) to:
Alberta Davis
606 Spanish Grant Road
East prairie,Mo 63845.
About the bricks:
Along with the list of family members below is relevant information that we have on them.
Provide or choose the information you want included on the brick, with your payment to Alberta
The bricks are limited to 3 lines and about 14 characters per line.
