Decades of Honor Memorial

   Our freedom requires the dedication of decades of men and women past and present.    For this reason we have erected this monument.  This monument, like our freedom, was conceived with the thought to honor and give thanks to all of those who have sacrificed to allow us to have the freedoms that we have.  The Eagle is in place, the flag flies, the walls have been built.   Now is the time for those who want to honor those who have served our country to step forward. 

As we planned this monument, we realized that as the work of defending our country is ongoing, we need a way to recognize not only those that have gone before and not exclude those who are currently defending and those who will be defending in the years to come.  To facilitate this process, we elected to have each service person honored on an individual black granite tile.  The granite tiles can be requested by friends, family or by the service person themselves.  Post 556 maintains the monument and will be charged with validating requests, installing the tiles and performing appropriate ceremonies to honor those recognized.

The tiles can be engraved with up to three lines of text and may contain an optional military service related logo.  As mentioned above the Post will review all requests and be responsible for having the granite tiles installed.  You will be notified when the tile is to be installed.  You may also order a smaller keepsake tile to remind you of the memorial.
