AMARILLO, Texas (KVII) — A new memorial honoring first responders who died in the line of duty is now open in downtown Amarillo, with a dedication ceremony drawing families, community members and agencies from across the Texas Panhandle.
The memorial, located at 11th and Polk streets, includes 110 names inscribed on its walls. Attendee David Woodburn said, “I just think it it’s really great that we’re finally putting names up and, recognizing these people for what they’ve done.”
For Delonda Dunn, the widow of Amarillo Police Department Sgt. Michael Dunn, the dedication carried special meaning as she marked five years without her husband. “To have it here at home where we can see it, you know, a lot more accessible is really, really special. Very honored to have him on that wall,” she said…
