Our Poplar Bluff and Cape Girardeau facilities have transitioned our Wall Of Valor (WOV) to an electronic WOV. We are having no luck finding many of our WOV honorees &/or next of kin so to return our physical framed photos with writeups. If you know one of these Veterans, their next of kin, or you ARE one; please contact the CDCE office in Poplar Bluff at 573-778-4276 or email them at VAHPOPVoluntary-W@va.gov to ensure the physical framed photo and writeup get to where they need to be. Here we have Carl Robuck, Theodore Sawyers and Leonard Shelton. We have many more to come in the future.

Our WOV honorees must have earned an award with valor while in conflict with an enemy. If you would like to obtain a WOV nomination form or know more, please contact the CDCE office noted above.
