Just Another Brick on the Wall

Plattsburgh Barracks Veterans Park and its' wall has gone thru many changes these past five years and all for the good. We have seen some minor damage done by vandals, but nothing that shows unless you know of it. I just have seen the wall and Gary the bricklayer in the Press Republican and on the front page no less. The DAV Chapter 179 who runs the park and features are a great group and you will never hear me talk enough abou the good they do. Momot Elementary will attest to that fact also. We are looking at about 100 bricks to finish the second wall and I look forward to seeing it full by Memorial Day which every year there is a ceremony and prayer said to all those who attend. I try to take the pictures of the walls as they fill up just to have a picture gallery from start to finish. There is a photo book out showing some aspects of the wall as it goes and grows. Each brick has a name of a veteran and each veteran has a story. So, Just Another Brick on the Wall? I don't think so. Remember you favorite Veteran, buy a brick!
