Veterans' Memorial Park Bricks - The Villages, Florida USA - Donated Engraved Bricks and Pavers on Waymarking.com

More than 11,000 engraved bricks pave the grounds of Veterans' Memorial Park at The Villages, Florida. The park was dedicated on Veterans' Day - November 11 - in 1998. The plaza includes a granite monument topped by a bronze eagle sculpture, a marker honoring Purple Heart recipients, and dedicated stone benches. A flag pole is positioned at the northeast point of the design.

A specialized pedestal with a weather tight metal case can be found along the southwest edge of the site. Inside is a hefty directory that lists the honoree name, rank, military branch, dates of service, and location number for each donated engraved brick. The day of my visit, the box also held a folded American flag and a POW flag.

The park is located a few hundred yards north of Spanish Springs town square along Paige Place road. New bricks are dedicated annually on November 11th during a Veterans' Day service.
