The
Robert A LaFountain Chapter 179, Disabled American Veterans of
Plattsburgh dedicated the Plattsburgh Barracks Veterans
Park on September 8th. The park is located on the
U.S. Oval and displays a flag for all
Military Branches and Veterans Organizations (13 flags). The Park
is a tribute to all veterans who served this nation from the
Battles of the Revolutionary War to Present.
On each side of a large stone there are Memorial Walls and on
the walls, engraved bricks will be placed in memory of veterans.
The bricks will have 3 lines of print with up to 13 characters per
line, and we are asking for a donation of $50.00 for each brick.
This money will be used to purchase trees, shrubs, flowers and the
remaining funds will be in escrow to maintain the Memorial Park.
