Bricks for Memorial Day

http://plattsburghbarracksveteransparkwall.org is a site to view the Veterans wall at the former PAFB in Plattsburgh, NY and I have talked about this park before. A recap on the history of this project is: Disabled American Veterans Chapter 179 is the driving force behind this. These people include Paul Dumas, past DAV179 president, who we send the cost of a brick to, Carmen Rust, the present acting President, Steve Bowman, Veterans Affairs, most recent former President DAV179, and a variety of actors and volunteers. This park is located at a spot where every July 4th, while the air base was located there, we sat and watch the fireworks. Also called the Oval, the park grows every year with monies raised and donated. Come every May there is a day called Memorial Day, also known as Rememberance Day or Armistace Day, where there is a ceremony to remember all the vets killed in past conflicts throughout history. Every year, twice a year, the purchased bricks are laid on the wall, Memorial Day being the first, Veterans Day, being the second. This past year was the first year bricks were laid down three times. I look forward to spring to see the progress of this park and the wall located there. Anyone wanting to purchase a brick can stop by the site or contact anyone on the list for an application to do so. So Honor the Veterans in you life, buy a brick!
See you on the Road!
