Aside from open monetary donations, there are specific donation programs as the Veterans Memorial Brick, the Bench and the Memorial Day DVD fundraiser.
Veterans Memorial Brick: For donations in support of the Military Veterans Court of Honor of $50.00 or more, a deeply embossed fired brick will be placed in the MVCH. Donors may name any person who has served or is serving in any military unit of the United States armed services (not just those veterans from the Gridley-Biggs District area). Each brick has three lines with 15 spaces for name, rank, service, date of service, etc. Spaces between entries count in the 15 spaces.
LTC JOHN DOE
USAF (RET)
1938-1968
JOHN DOE
U.S. MARINES
KOREA
SGT. JOHN DOE
U.S. ARMY
1941-1945
The placing of a Memorial Brick will insure that the service member will be permanently recognized, and that future generations will be reminded of the sacrifices made and service provided to this country to protect the freedom that we enjoy. Please request a Veterans Memorial brick form by phone, mail, in person or email.
BENCH Program: For donations in support of the MVCH of $1,000.00 or more, a bench and brass marker will be placed below the bench with your name, or your group/unit/club/association or in honor of a U.S. service member, etc. For $500.00 or more, you may share a bench with another (two brass markers per bench).
