JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Five names of local fallen heroes were added Monday to Jacksonville's Vetrerans Memorial Wall.
The servicemen were recognized during a ceremony.
One of the names added to the wall is Chief Kevin Williams, who disappeared two years ago. His remains were found in the woods during the search for Lonzie Barton, the toddler who was reported missing in 2015.
There are more than 1,500 names on the granite wall.
