Kansas Honors POWs with New Memorial Highway | Topeka News

Kansas is honoring its fallen heroes with its first-ever POW/MIA memorial highway and bridge—officially dedicating sections of U.S. 77 and naming the K-82 bridge over Milford Lake during a special ceremony at the Wakefield Birthday Bash this Saturday. With Fort Riley nearby and Wakefield already a POW/MIA memorial city, this marks a historic first for the state’s roadway memorials. The event kicks off with a motorcycle parade at 10 AM, followed by the dedication at 11:45 AM on the main stage in Clay County Park—perfect timing for visitors to ride the new memorial route while paying tribute.
