A chapel renovation and road dedication launched a $30 million commitment for a national POW-MIA memorial at the former Cecil Field Naval Air Station on Jacksonville’s Westside. About 200 people attended the ceremony Tuesday at the Chapel of the High-Speed Pass and at the POW-MIA Memorial Parkway, formerly known as New World Avenue. The chapel and parkway are the first pieces of a larger plan for a national memorial and historic destination for former prisoners of war and those still missing in action. The memorial also will honor thousands of military personnel and their families who lived and worked at Cecil Field Naval Air Station SEE MEMORIAL, PAGE 2
