The Keller Veterans Memorial Park is intended as a Community Park that will honor our Keller veterans. There will be several ways for recognizing veterans. The central columns for displaying names are made of granite and include a central pillar that is a monument recognizing the sacrifices of Keller veterans. Six additional columns, three on each side, will flank this central column. These six columns will be used to list the names of known Keller area veterans. These central columns are the focus of the Memorial Park.
Veterans who qualify as “Keller Veterans” will automatically be included on these columns. In addition to these central columns, there are also brick pavers placed in the plaza in front of the columns. These brick pavers are available for sponsorship by individuals who want to support the Keller Veterans Memorial Park. Sponsoring pavers give people the opportunity to not only support the project, but also a chance for honoring veterans who may not qualify as “Keller Veterans.” Pavers can be sponsored recognizing an individual or family, but there will be a separate area set-aside for pavers that recognize veterans that are not “Keller Veterans.”
