The Remembering Our Fallen display for Missouri currently has pictures of 147 military men and women. It was in the third floor of the State Capitol Rotunda on either side of the legislator’s entrance to the House.
The son of one of them has been recognized in the House by a state legislator. Wesley Settle was two months old when his father, Marine Lance Cpl. Darin Settle of Henley, was killed in a motor vehicle accident in Iraq in April, 2006.
Settle’s father, Jim Settle of Henley, says the memorial is a comfort.
“It is nice to see that people still remember and that these guys … him and the others … are still being remembered.”
