The Veterans Memorial Committee has been established to manage the intake of veterans who wish to be recognized on our Veterans Memorial (currently under construction at our Village Center). They also help oversee the design of the Memorial and organize the dedication of the memorial and the Luis Garcia Park in which it will be situated (Dedication date TBA, sometime in early to mid September, 2008).
The committee is headed up by Jimmy Chavez and Planning and Zoning Commissioner Dave Wilson (tijerasveteran@hotmail.com)
