 "CLICK HERE - To see it LARGER!")
The Jefferson County Hall of Honor is a permanent memorial dedicated to area Veterans on display seven days a week inside the Koziara Terminal at Mt. Vernon Outland Airport (KMVN). The Jefferson County Hall of Honor is an ongoing, collaborative effort of the Woodlawn Veterans Memorial Committee, the Mt. Vernon Airport Authority, and Experimental Aircraft Association Chapter 1155.
This initiative compliments other area Veterans Memorials in that each Veteran’s service history is preserved for future generations to see. In many cases, the display provides the viewer an opportunity to “go back in time” to see the veteran while he/she is serving our country. Photographs, squadron/unit patches/logos, medals, and/or ribbons are placed on individual 8”x 10” tribute pages. The tributes are framed and displayed together in an attractive display.
“This is a living history honoring the service of those from our local communities - our friends and neighbors. However, the real heroes are the ones left behind.” R.D. White, Woodlawn Veterans Memorial Committee.
“Just like the service of each veteran, no two tributes are identical. Each one has a different story to tell. It is very educational.” Chris Collins, Airport Director, Mt. Vernon Outland Airport
A questionnaire soliciting information from each veteran is available at the airport or by contacting members of the Hall of Honor Committee. Completed questionnaires and materials are submitted to Hall of Honor data entry personnel for scanning and completion of the individual tributes. All photos and personal effects are returned to the veteran or veteran’s family.
The Jefferson County Hall of Honor is open to veterans of all conflicts, service branches, and ranks. For more information, visit the airport or contact one of the following Jefferson County Hall of Honor Committee Members: Chris Collins (618) 242-7016 or (618) 315-5462, or managermvaa@mvn.net ; R.D. White at (618) 735-2770; or Clarence Duckworth at (618) 735-2599.
