POWELL, Wyo. (AP) - The Park County commissioners have voted to contribute $10,000 toward a memorial in Cody to honor Wyoming soldiers killed in World War I.
The Powell Tribune reported Tuesday the memorial will be placed in the Wyoming Veterans Memorial Park and will list the names of more than 60 state residents.
The park already has monuments honoring Wyoming residents killed in World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, Afghanistan, Iraq, the Cold War and other engagements as well as peacetime service.
The World War I monument is expected to cost $45,000 total. Organizers have been raising money for the project from various sources.
A dedication ceremony is planned for Memorial Day.
