Take a moment to honor those that have
sacrificed for our country at the Reno County
Veterans Memorial and the Soldiers and Sailors
Memorial. The Reno County Veterans Memorial
represents the commitment of the citizens
of Reno County to honor those who have
served in our military. The final phase of this
project will be the addition of 14 granite panels
displaying the names of over 15,400 Reno
County veterans from the Civil War through
today. The memorial site also features the flags
and emblems of all the branches of service,
as well as tribute to the POW/MIA service
members. The Soldiers and Sailors Memorial,
completed in 1919, is a Grand Army of Republic
commemorative Civil War monument and
one of only three multi-figure memorials in
Kansas, combining a statue of Abraham Lincoln
with statues of a sailor, and artilleryman, an
infantryman and a cavalry man - representing
the four branches of the Union Army.
