Wednesday PHS Drafting instructor Bruce Rea and PHS students attended the ground breaking for the Veterans Memorial to be located by the Parsons Municipal Building. Rea and students have been involved from almost the beginning with the project. PHS students provided CAD drawings of the memorial and helped build the colonnades that will support the arched beam on the memorial. They also built and donated a 3/4 scale Humvee and all the molds to make it for the veterans to auction off to help cover the cost of building the memorial.
