This Veteran’s Day has been extra special for the people of WaKeeney. In addition to the usual celebrations for veterans, the community rededicated its Iwo Jima Memorial, which had been in storage for a couple of years. Many years ago, several WaKeeney citizens came up with the idea for the memorial—a silhouette of the famous World War II image of Marines raising the American flag on top of Mount Suribachi after a hard-fought battle on the island of Iwo Jima.
