OLPE ALL VETERANS MEMORIAL

The Olpe Veterans Committee is currently making plans for the Olpe Veterans Memorial.
The proposed memorial will be in Olpe Jones Park, just north of the Methodist Church. We have
received several donations but we are still in need of additional funds in order to match a
$25,000 grant.
Names of Olpe area deceased veterans will be placed on a granite stone, similar to those at
the Emporia Veterans Memorial, free of charge. Additional names of veterans, living or
deceased, will be added for a donation of $125 or more. Donations should be made out to OLPE
VETERANS MEMORIAL and sent to the Olpe State Bank, P O Box 207, 202 Westphalia, Olpe,KS
66865. Thank you!
