Work is continuing on the Keota Veterans Memorial. Dave Hobscheidt is one of the people who has led the effort to get the memorial built. He says they currently have over 2,000 names that will be on the memorial, those names are currently being worked on by the engraver. Hobscheidt says funding for the project came from a wide variety of sources, including auctions, private donations and a Riverboat Foundation grant.

Hobscheidt says the memorial will be located on West Broadway in Keota, near the Holy Trinity Catholic Church. The group working on the project hopes to have it completed in time for Keota Fun Days next summer.
