History of Mayfield Veteran's Memorial

On September 25, 2002, Mayfield High School students and staff planted a tree in memory of former student Charles Stanley. Charles lost his life in Vietnam on February 6, 1969, and was finally buried in Arlington National Cemetery on September 6, 2002.

The honoring of Charles Stanley motivated a group of students, staff and residents to recognize all former students of Mayfield High School who served United States Armed Forces. On May 28, 2004, nineteen former Mayfield High School students who died while serving in the U.S. military were recognized during a dedication ceremony of the MHS Veteran's Memorial. Granite stones with each of their names and military rank were placed around the flagpole for a permanent memorial in their honor. The first nineteen men honored were:

Seaman 2nd Class Roy Allen
Seaman 3rd Class Jim Blaskis
Sergeant David Campbell
SPEC 4 Jeffrey Cramer
Seaman 2nd Class Robert Dalrymple
PFC Nicholas DiCillo
TECH 4 Armand Federico
PFC Danny Fisher
PFC Elmer Kelly
Captain Norman Kidd
PFC Gregory Koschal
PFC Phillip Lierse
Lieutenenant J.G. Roy Mack
Lieutenant Rudy Marko
Lieutenant Ian Robertson
CWO Charles Stanley
PFC Theodore Takacs
PFC William Tartler
LCPL Michael Tecco
Torpedo's Mate Willie Whitright

On May 27, 2005, members of the Mayfield High School Veterans Memorial committee dedicated a second memorial to our former students who served in the U.S. military and to those who were honorably discharged. Brick pavers with the names and military rank of these men and women were placed around the existing granite markers to complete the permanent memorial in honor of our veterans. Also in 2005 another fallen veteran was added to the memorial Lieutenant J.G. Roy Mack.
