Lake Saint Louis Resident Champions Veterans
St. Peters was first city in St. Charles County to rename Veterans Memorial Parkway after a campaign led by Ralph Barrale.
It wasn't too long ago that Veterans Memorial Parkway didn't exist.
Sure the road was there, but it went by a different name. It wasn't until a campaign, led by Lake Saint Louis resident Ralph Barrale, sought to change the name of the road to honor the veterans.
"There was nothing in St. Charles at that time to recognize the veterans," Barrale said. "And that was the beginning."
