Just in time for Memorial Day, orders are now being taken for engraved bricks honoring veterans to be placed in the All Veteran Memorial Park in Lincoln.

The bricks are available for order by contacting Manley Monuments in Lincoln or local veteran Gene Hickey at 217-871-2972.

Bricks will be engraved with the name of the veteran and there is room for two additional lines of print with 13 characters or less per line. As an example, this could permit for the name and rank on one line, military branch on the second line and dates of time served on the third.

Bricks will be placed in the ALL VETERAN park regardless of military branch and may include veterans who are living, deceased, or those who are still active duty.

The plan is to have the new bricks placed in time for Memorial Day, 2025.
