A memorial at the Missouri Capitol may be expanded to honor veterans from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
Tentative plans for a privately funded update of the Veterans Memorial were informally endorsed by the Missouri State Capitol Commission at a meeting Monday.
The memorial, dedicated in 1991, honors every war the United States has been in since Missouri became a state. The most recent commemoration is for the first Gulf War.
