In January 2005 a committee was formed to examine interest in a tribute of some kind. The response was huge! Personalized bricks sold for the curving paths leading to the Tribute, and those funds, along with grants and corporate donations paid for the contruction. On August 1st, 2005 construction began.
Curving paths of the contributors' personalized bricks lead to the circular design. The focal point is a star of bricks engraved with the name and branch of service of those with ties to Braman who have served our country since 9/11/2001. A Bronze star is on the brick of any who have made the ultimate sacrifice. They will never beforgotten. A lamp will forever shine on this brick star. There are benches for visitors and a handicapped accessable path around the perimeter. On September 24th, 2005 it was dedicated.
Memorial Placed by:: Braman Area Chamber of Commerce and Agriculture.
