Pavers

A Vietnam War replica EC-47 Electric Goon aircraft, installed in front of the Goodfellow AFB wing headquarters in October 2005, stands in tribute to the intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance mission that has been the training focus on the base since 1958.

The installation of nearly 1,000 pavers was completed in early April 2020. Click HERE or the paver graphic above to view photos of the installation progress.

It is envisioned that this memorial plaza will be a place where living and deceased veterans from all branches of the military can be honored and remembered. It will be available as a setting for special ceremonies, as well as a sanctuary for quiet reflection.

Engraved tributes may be as simple as listing the veteran’s name, branch, and dates of service on the 4x8-inch paver rectangular bronze plates - to adding a service emblem and service-related details on the larger 8x8-inch paver circular bronze plates. The pavers are already installed. The first batch of nearly 300 engraved bronze plates was installed during the dedication/memorialization ceremony held on March 25, 2022.
