An important element to the total All Veterans Memorial experience is the opportunity to memorialize a person, persons, organizations and businesses in honoring a relationship with the military and railroading. Individual bricks may be sponsored for placement in the vicinity of the All Veterans Memorial to memorialize an individual's service. Families may desire to recognize a relative who has served or is currently serving. Bricks come in two sizes: 4 x 8 inches, and 8 x 8 inches.

Obtaining additional financial assistance remains an important task of Railroad Heritage, Inc., and the All Veterans Memorial Planning Committee.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
