Wednesday, February 14^th, from 10 am until 4 pm a special Valentines Day tribute, “Cards and Letters from Home” will be on display at the Texas Panhandle War Memorial and Education Center, honoring Navy Veteran Jackie Smith of Amarillo.

In 1991, ET-2 Smith was assigned to the USS Tarawa which was assigned duty in the Persian Gulf during the Persian Gulf War.  Students from Smith’s elementary schools, Oakdale, Landergin, and Humphrey’s Highland sent Valentine Day cards and letters to Smith expressing their respect, valentine’s wishes, and wishing him a safe return home.  These cards and letters will be on display for all to enjoy.

Students from each of the schools have been invited to tour the War Memorial Education Center and view the exhibits. Students who attended these schools in 1991,  were in class with Mrs. Adams (Landergin), Mrs. Rankin (Humphrey’s Highland), or Mrs. McCarter (Oakdale) are welcome to the War Memorial Education Center to view their work from 33 years ago, to read and to remember.
