Memorial Bricks are Available
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.  Attention is invited to the brick order form for more details. Although there will be no deadline set for requesting a brick, it is encouraged that order forms with accompanying payment be submitted as soon as possible.

Answers to questions related to ordering bricks or other types of financial support for the All Veterans Memorial are available by contacting the staff at the Great Overland Station during business hours at (785) 232-5533.  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.
