Pavers are being sold for $40 each to help fund this joint project and will be placed in the veterans’ walkway between the gazebo and the memorial tomb. Pavers will be engraved with the name of your family member or friend who served (or is currently serving) in our country's armed forces. What a great way to thank them for service in the military. A gift certificate can be requested with each paver as a keepsake in time for Memorial Day.
