Title: Veterans’ Memorial Park Board Honors Newest Medal of Honor Recipient


The City of Sioux Falls Veterans’ Memorial Park Advisory Board will dedicate a new monument in honor of Master Sergeant Woodrow Wilson Keeble at Veterans’ Memorial Park on Sunday, June 14, 2009.

The ceremony will begin at 2 p.m. followed by a patriotic band concert by the Municipal Band with special guest Tom Roberts at 3 p.m. Veterans’ Memorial Park is located at the intersection of Bailey Street and Walts Avenue (south of the Casa Del Rey restaurant).

Keeble is a recipient of the Medal of Honor for his heroic acts while serving in the Korean War. This dedication will be the eighth Medal of Honor recipient’s citation displayed at the park, including Sioux Falls native Joe Foss.

Community members are encouraged to bring lawn chairs to this patriotic event.
