Brick Pavers

For a donation of $100 for the 4 x 8 paver or $200 for the 8 x 8 paver, the paver can be engraved as directed by the donor. Pavers can be purchased in memory/honor of a veteran (living or deceased) or for other reasons such as general support for all veterans.
The pavers have limited space for engraving
4 x 8 pavers – 3 lines, 18 characters per line
8 x 8 pavers – 6 lines, 18 characters per line
The paver forms with instructions are available in a clear holder on the Pavilion wall
Individual Brick Paver Search
To assist in finding a specific engraved brick paver, a “paver index”, sorted by donor’s name is attached. The index includes a reference #, donors name, panel number, row number, and column number.
