Richmond Heights Veterans Honor Roll Will Be Updated; Community Help Needed

For over a decade, the staff of Richmond Heights Memorial Library have been collecting the names of Richmond Heights veterans of foreign wars and placing them in a commemorative document, the Richmond Heights Honor Roll.  Library staff are working on a major update to the Honor Roll.

We need information about any veteran who lives or has lived in Richmond Heights.  Please look for the veteran’s information in the Richmond Heights Honor Roll.  You can find it at the library itself, or on the library’s website at www.rhml.lib.mo.us.  To add new information to the Honor Roll, fill out a Local Veteran’s Archive Registration Form, also available at the library or at www.rhml.lib.mo.us.  Please turn in the completed form at the library’s main circulation desk.

For more information about the Honor Roll archive, please contact Adult Services Provider Scott Bonner at (314) 645-6202.

The Richmond Heights Public Library was established in 1933.  When it moved to a new building in 1974, it was renamed to include the words Memorial Library.  This ongoing Honor Roll reflects a similar understanding of how the sacrifices of veterans throughout our nation’s history make possible many of the freedoms represented by a public library – the freedom to read, the freedom of information, and equal access for all.
