Members of the Henryetta Fraternal Order of Police added their donation to the new plaque on the Doughboy Tuesday morning.
The donation, combined with several received late last week put the fundraising effort at it's goal according to Bill Goodner. "I want to thank the generosity of so many people, businesses and organizations toward this worthwhile effort," Goodner said. "Now we can properly honor those Henryetta area servicemen who gave their lives so we can enjoy our freedoms today."
He said the plaque will see the addition of nearly 100 names of servicemen who were killed in action in the wars from World War I through the Middle East.
The new plaques and names will be dedicated at a special ceremony Nov. 11, 2016.
Goodner said several other fundraising efforts including a yard sale and golf tournament will no longer be necessary since the goal was met.
