    By on Local News, Manhattan

    A new veterans’ memorial walkway has been installed at Valley View Memorial Park, with the ribbon cutting coming up Thursday.

    VFW Lee Pierson Post Commander Dan Watkins on KMAN’s In Focus said Monday this is a project that began in one form in the early 2000’s, but were left, essentially, abandoned after plans changed.

    The ribbon cutting for the walk will be Thursday at ten as Mark and Caron Berges of Valley View donated the space for the walk to be installed. They also had been storing the bricks until they were placed for the walkway

    The VFW is seeking volunteers for placing flags at veterans’ graves Sunday afternoon at one, with their Memorial Day remembrance taking place Monday at 11 at Valley View.
