Stetson Elementary School is collecting money to honor Major Phil Ambard. He was killed on April 27 while serving with the Air Force in Afghanistan. Ambard's wife is a teacher at Stetson and Major Ambard was a regular visitor to the school.
Donations collected by the PTA will be used to buy and install a scoreboard at the school's field to recognize Major Ambard.
Donations for the scoreboard may be mailed to Stetson Elementary labeled
- ‘Ambard Family Donation'
- 4910 Jedediah Smith Road
- Colorado Springs, Colorado, 80922
Services for Major Phil Ambard will be held at the Air Force Academy Thursday, May 5. A public viewing and celebration of his life will be led by the family at 11:45 a.m. The memorial service will begin at 12:30 p.m and will be held at the Cadet Protestant Chapel with a graveside service immediately following at the Academy Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family has asked that donations be made to the Wounded Warrior Project.
