For more than a decade, the military monument has awaited the addition of Patriots.
Today, we unveiled 193 names of Wheeling Park High School graduates that have served or are serving in the military.
We were also able to honor two Patriots that paid the ultimate price during serve: Capt. David VanCamp and Sgt. Matthew Hunter.
The monument, created under the leadership of Mr. George Krelis, former OCS Superintendent, and Mr. Erik Schramm, former BOE President, has now finished an initial batch of alumni Patriots with plans to continue adding names.
We know there are Patriots that are missing, and we are looking forward to the opportunity to bring them home and honor their name accordingly.
We want to thank everyone involved for their kindness, patience, and dedication to making this project a reality.
