Radiating out to many of the buildings on the Museum site, the Veterans Plaza/Courtyard connects the spirit of those who served or are serving our nation–in times of war or peace– with the spirit of those who honor them today. Three brick areas in the Plaza/Courtyard provide opportunities for paying tribute to veterans and others. (Download the Brick Tribute Form from the link at the end of this page.)

Veterans Plaza Bricks
The Veteran's Plaza recognize each war or conflict in America's history.  Any veteran can be honored here with an individual brick. Honorees are not required to be natives or residents of Person County. Bricks are grouped according to the event or time period—Revolutionary War, War of 1812, Mexican War, Civil War, Spanish-American War, WWI, WWII, Korean War, Vietnam War, Persian Gulf War, War on Terrorism, etc.

About 4000 bricks were made available for this part of the memorial. Each brick features three lines of information: a veteran's name; veteran's unit, division or company, and the veteran's rank and branch of service. These bricks can be purchased for $150.00 each. Only veterans are honored in this part of the Plaza. 

Gazebo Bricks
Centered around the gazebo, oversized 8" x 8" bricks lead up to the four gazebo entrances. These  bricks can be designated for veterans or other individuals as well as businesses and organizations. Up to five lines of information can be inscribed. The inscription can refer to the individual, business or organization, or it can relay a quote, or inspirational adage or short message. These bricks can be purchased for $300.00 each. 

Walkway Aprons
Nine brick aprons intersect the concrete walkways that lead to the gazebo and connect the Veteran's Plaza. Each apron holds about 50 bricks. Three are designated for veterans only. The other six can honor or memorialize anyone. These bricks sell for $75.00 each.
