The City of Ritzville received a large donation from the Springer Family to erect a memorial in the Ritzville City Park in the Spring of 2015.
Since then the Tree Board has been working to secure pillars for this memorial.
The memorial includes three rock pillars of various sizes and will include a 20-foot lighted flagpole, as was requested by the family.
