ELEGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR VETERAN'S NAME ON THE MEMORIAL

 
VETERANS or VETERANS FAMILY MEMBERS

The following is the minimum requirement to verify eligibility/qualification for your memorial.

HOPKINS COUNTY CONNECTION: Any veteran who served honorably in the U. S. Military (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, Merchant Marines, including Reserves and National Guard) and is a current or past resident of Hopkins County is eligible for his/her name to be included on the Memorial. Any deceased veteran who has served honorably and whose final place of rest is in Hopkins County is also eligible.

LIVING VETERANS: We need proof of service, a copy of your DD 214 showing an Honorable Discharge. If this document is not available, contact Clayton McGraw at 903-885-1551 or Art Romanat at 903-885-2611 for assistance.

DECEASED VETERANS: Family must provide DD-214 or equivalent written Service documentation with Character of Service, branch of service, years of service, rank, Social Security or service number (if possible), name and location of cemetery and if issued a military grave marker. A usable photograph in uniform is encouraged. For assistance, contact the McGraw/Romanat team.

Your contribution of $50.00 helps us to build your Memorial. No eligible veteran will be denied for lack of a contribution. We request all information that you provide be clearly typed/printed with address, contact name and phone numbers plus e-mail address if available.

Together we will build this lasting tribute to our veterans.
