The following two images are photos of the Veterans Memorial in Kentucky that inspired the design of the Veterans Memorial in Blanchard. Our Military Honor Wall will be simlar but slightly smaller. Also our Honor Brick Pillars and Sponsor Pillar will be of the same material with internal LED lighting for greater impact at night.
This Memorial will only be the second of its design and style in the entire United States!

The Veterans Memorial Park in Blanchard will be distinctly different from most memorials you have ever seen. The memorial wall will be made of a special laser etched translucent glass with built in LED lighting. In front of the wall will be a water fountain and on top of the wall will be an eternal flame. Each branch of military service will be honored with a individual glass panel and flag pole.
Located around the perimeter of the memorial courtyard, will be four pentagon shaped pillars. Three of these pillars are reserved to display only personalized 4" x 8" laser etched glass bricks. Inside the pillars will be LED lighting to enhance the beauty of the memorial at night. We encouage anyone to purchase an "Honor Brick" for any relative, friend or whomever you wish to honor in the memorial, no matter where they live.
The fourth pentagon pillar will be reserved for corporations, businesses and individuals who wish to sponsor this memorial. This allows anyone to be a part of the memorial by permanently recognizing their business or an individual as an underwriter of this project. Panel prices range from $500.00 to $5,000.00 with display panel sizes ranging from 4"x8" to 16"x20". The buyer will be asked to submit artwork, a logo, photo, text, graphic, whatever, to be laser etched onto their permanent sponsor panel. You can even recognize a civilian for their service to the DOD, or an organization, even an individual for their service to an organization or the community.
Also in the Sponsor Pillar, there will be a "Bronze Sponsors" panel specifically set aside to recognize any business or individual who donates between $250 and $500 toward this memorial.
All donations, purchases, sponsorships and "In-Kind" gifts are "tax deductable" as permitted by the IRS.
God bless everyone and God bless the USA!
