As Memorial Day approaches, nothing makes me prouder than to see the Hometown Heroes banners begin to pop up along our city streets. Whether I’m driving through town looking at the faces of local heroes, or reading the names of the brave soldiers engraved on the bricks lining the tranquil Veterans Historical Plaza, I am inspired by the strong men and women in our community who have fought and continue to fight for our freedom. As a veteran myself, I am honored to live in a city that offers these wonderful programs, like the Hometown Heroes Military Banner Program and Commemorative Brick Program, to highlight our selfless servicemen and women.
The Veterans Historical Plaza houses the engraved bricks of generations of local heroes. This idyllic park is the perfect location to sit, reflect and remember the sacrifices made by our veteran and active duty communities. Order forms are accepted year-round, and bricks are installed twice a year, the week before Memorial Day and Veterans Day. The inscription on the bricks can be personalized, allowing family members to write touching messages, or details of their loved one’s service. To purchase a brick or for more information about the program, please visit
