gram is receiving, it is turning into a double-edged sword.  The tourists are looking at us and now we need to maintain all these markers to keep up our image.  Just keep up the good work.

V.  New or re-construction:

In the event that a section of highway is undergoing construction, all fatality markers should be removed by the local Legion Post and not be replaced.  If the highway is only being re-surfaced or having the shoulders improved, all markers should be replaced upon completion of the re-construction.  Installing guardrails or moving the tree line back do not require the fatality markers to be removed.

VI. Material:

Much of the material that a post may need to construct the fatality markers can be obtained locally.  Many state highway department maintenance shops will donate delineator material for our posts.  Some local machine shops will donate either the material or workmanship to construct the marker.  Sometimes material may be obtained from local land fills or plumbers.  If you must purchase the material U-shaped steel posts are available at both Home Depot and Ace Hardware stores.  They may also be available in other hardware, ranch, or fencing establishments near you.  All the posts that I found were painted forest green and have hoes drilled in them.  Therefore, if the fatality marker is also pre-drilled, the marker can be attached to the post after it is in the ground.   The upright portion of the marker will have to be lengthened, say from 16" to 20" to compensate for that portion of the marker that overlaps the post and it is then painted bright red.  At the time I found these posts; at Home Depot, the six-foot post cost $2.98.  It is a 13-gauge, heavy duty, fence post.  Its stock number is 901156A.  Ace Hardware had both six and seven foot posts.  The six-foot post cost $4.99.  Its Ace SKU number is 73314. The seven foot post costs $5.99.  Its Ace SKU number is 73315.
