Survivors honored with designated parking

ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. - One of the new Survivor Outreach Services parking signs for survivors outside the APG North (Aberdeen) recreation center lets drivers know that space is designated for Families of the Fallen. In accordance with OPORD 13-098: "Designated Parking for Families of the Fallen," the APG Garrison's Directorate of Public Works erected more signs around the installation for members of its large survivor community. Look for survivor-designated parking spaces at Kirk U.S. Army Health Clinic; Army Community Service; the Casualty Assistance Office; APG North and South chapels and recreation centers; Garrison headquarters, Bldg. 305; and at the office of the Installation Commander, Bldg. 6002. "The intent is to honor and recognize the sacrifice of Family members who have lost a loved one in military service by providing designated parking for Families of the Fallen," said Annette Sanders-Nash, APG Survivor Outreach Services coordinator. "The approved 12x18-inch parking signs will serve as a method to promote awareness and educate the military community on Families of the fallen." Photo by Yvonne Johnson
