Hundreds gathered in Fort Riley’s Victory Park Wednesday morning to remember the fallen Soldiers of the 1st infantry Division.

Maj. Gen. Wayne W. Grigsby Jr., commanding general for 1st inf. Div. and Fort Riley, spoke during the ceremony.

“In my heart, I can feel the crushing weight of their absence each day and sense the hollowness of their empty places in our formations,” Maj. Gen. Wayne W. Grigsby Jr., 1st Inf. Div. and Fort Riley commanding general, said during the event.

This was the second year no new memorial stones were emplaced in the park.
