The
consolidation of our two Posts into one building marks the beginning of a new
era for Uxbridge. The Legion held its first meeting in town on May 19, 1919,
and the VFW on August 26, 1945. These organizations are essential to the
fabric of our community. We are committed to ensuring that they both
remain well into the future.
We are
excited about the opportunities ahead for a rebirth and growth of our facility
as a place where Veterans can gather socially and honor our brothers’ and
sisters’ legacy of military service and sacrifice. We also want to make sure
that we have a wonderful gathering space for both Veterans and the
community at large to celebrate the milestones of our lives. We are
asking for your help in this endeavor.
We invite you to use this page to design a memorial brick of your
choosing that will be installed on our property. The actual design of our
“Memorial Garden” is still in the planning stages. It may be along the strip
between the parking lot and Route 16, on the large lawn between the main
building and the outdoor pavilion or somewhere else on the property. The intent
is for a large enough area to allow the memorial to grow over time. The
tentative date for initial installation is the summer of 2025.
All proceeds from this campaign will be dedicated to building improvements and remodeling of the facilities, inside and out. As an Incorporated 501(c)(19) Tax Exempt Veterans Organization, all or part of your donation may be tax deductible (we suggest that you check with your tax advisor to confirm).
The brick you design will be installed permanently on our property as a lasting testament to the person, organization or cause you wish to memorialize for generations to come.
The bricks are available in three sizes. Samples are depicted below.
4”x8” @ $100 8”x8” @ $250 12”x12” @ $500
You can also purchase a 4” x 4” Keepsake Tile for $25 which is yours to
keep and display proudly at your home or office. It is a replica of the brick
you design. The purchase of a brick (any size) is required to create a Keepsake
Tile. The dropdown menu will allow you to buy multiples of the Keepsake Tile,
if you wish, to provide as gifts to family members, friends, co-workers, etc.
You will find an extensive clip art gallery on this site, or you may upload
your own at no additional cost. Understand that using clip art does reduce the
number of characters that can be engraved per brick. Once you enter all the
required information in the “Place Your Order Here” field click “continue” and
you will be brought to the “Customize Your Order” page where you can see your
brick being created as you type in the message you wish. Feel free to edit your
work as the design is not final until you place your order. If you prefer to
use a hard copy form to order your brick, send us a note and we can mail you
one. The Veterans of Legion Post 33 and VFW Post 1385 sincerely thank you for your
kind and gracious support!
