Every May before Memorial Day the Honor Rolls (Washington state people killed in battle) should be updated. In adding names to the honor rolls, we follow the direction of the Garden of Remembrance Advisory Board (the Garden of Remembrance is the garden of stone walls with names inscribed behind Benaroya Hall on 3rd Avenue in Seattle).
The contact is Dave Barber

The board goes through considerable deliberation as to whether a name should go on the list. The names on the list are only people from Washington state (not people briefly stationed here or launched from here).
If there is a death reported in the newspaper (of someone killed in Iraq or Afghanistan, for example) it’s fine to add the name at any time (as long as the person is definitely from Washington state).
But every May we also need to contact Dave and get the new list and update it in time for Memorial Day.
