Family and friends who wish to honor veterans from Abilene ISD who have passed away can share their information to be considered for the new AISD Memorial Park at Dyess Elementary School.
The memorial park will feature the F-4D Phantom jet that has been part of the Dyess campus since 1990 as well as a wall that will feature the names of AISD graduates and employees who served in a branch of the United States military and have passed away, either while on active duty or after completion of their military service. The district will also be considering students for addition to the wall who enlisted before graduating and were either killed in action or didn’t go back to school after their time in the military ended.
In order to collect the names of those men and women, the district needs the help of the Abilene ISD and Abilene communities to provide the AISD with the information that will make the memorial park an inspiring place of reflection and remembrance. The district has a feedback form set up for family and friends to provide as much detail about their loved on or friend that they would like to see memorialized on the wall. That feedback form – which opened Thursday and will remain on the website for the foreseeable future — can be found here: https://forms.gle/TGsPkdTQxdaiHRvq7.
