Bricks honor vets' service
Memorial has room for more

BLUE ASH — The city's Bicentennial Veterans Memorial at Cooper and Hunt roads marks its 10th anniversary this year. More than 3,700 memorial bricks have been placed there in the last decade to honor those who have served the country.
“There is plenty of room for more,” said Sue Bennett, assistant to City Manager Marvin Thompson.
New bricks are available for sale through April 7 for placement by Memorial Day, Ms. Bennett said.
An inscribed brick may be purchased to honor any American veteran who has served or is currently serving in any branch of the United States armed forces. “Three lines may be inscribed on each 4 by 8 inch brick — the first line being the person's name; the second, the branch of service; and, third, the years of service,” Ms. Bennett said.
Bricks cost $25, are tax deductible and may be paid for with cash, check or Visa or MasterCard. Bricks may be purchased at city hall, 4343 Cooper Rd., during business hours. They may also be ordered by mail, or by phone with a credit card between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. at 745-8539.
Neither the purchaser nor the person being honored on the brick need be a Blue Ash resident.
