Veteran's Memorial

Veterans Memorial



This site is an effort to honor men, women, and families who have sacrificed so much for the freedom's we enjoy today.  While we cannot say or do enough to thank these individuals, we want to recognize all of our veterans and their families in a public way.

 

At some point in the future, there will be  a monument  placed at Veterans Park to honor the memory of all those who have served our Country in any branch of the Military.  The walkway leading up to the Memorial will be bordered with inscribed, polished, black granite bricks that can be purchased through Alabaster Parks and Recreation.  You may purchase a brick or bricks, with an inscription of your choosing, in honor or memory of any person with military service.  Please immortalize a friend or loved one while at the same time helping to make our memorial a true representation of the honor and esteem that we have for our Veterans.  We want this monument to be a testimonial to our Veterans and a lasting tribute to our brave military members, both past and present.

 

Cost of Bricks:  $125 for single brick (4x8)

                        $250 for double brick (8x8)
