Golf Fundraiser to Replace Jefferson County's Veterans Wall of Honor

A few Korean War Veterans Association members are hosting a golf tournament on Oct. 15 at Deer Creek Golf Club in House Springs.

Funds raised will go toward new technology for Jefferson County's Veterans Wall of Honor in Hillsboro, District 3 Jefferson County Councilman Bob Boyer wrote in an email.

The memorial is a computer video display, in the Jefferson County Administration Center, that has needed repairs for a few years, Boyer said.

Donors created the current wall to provide the name, rank and hometown of all Jefferson Count residents who served in the U.S. military, the Jefferson County government website said.

The new wall will be less expensive because technology has improved since the original wall was created in 2002, Boyer said.

The tournament fee is $95 per person or $380 per team, Boyer said. There is also a fundraiser dinner on Oct. 15. The dinner fee is included in the golfers’ tournament fee but is $10 for non-golfers.

Veterans living in Jefferson County not listed on the wall should complete and send the form, pictured above this article, to be added to the memorial.
