Airman heritage pavers available online Published April 23, 2012 SAN ANTONIO -- Airmen can stake out a permanent place of recognition at the very place where their USAF active duty service began -- Lackland Air Force Base. Engraved pavers are being placed along the parade ground where Airmen proudly cross into the blue to join the U.S. Air Force. The pavers honor Airmen who graduated from Basic Military Training, to recognize significant achievements in their careers, or upon retirement from service to their country. Pavers also can recognize service of airmen who fought in our wars. The pavers are being offered as part of the fund-raising effort by the Lackland Gateway Heritage Foundation to build a new USAF Airman Heritage Museum facility adjacent to the parade ground. Engraved pavers are excellent in recognizing retirees, past or present, for service to their country. Pavers are available for purchase online at MyAirmanMuseum.org.
