Bricks & Banners

Honoring Military Service

Our community has a long-standing tradition of honoring those who serve.  The Battle Ground Veterans Memorial, located in Kiwanis Park, was fully funded and constructed by community donations. 

The Bricks & Banners program provides two distinct opportunities for you to honor and recognize those who serve.

Commemorative Bricks

Personalized, commemorative bricks may be purchased for placement at the Battle Ground Veterans Memorial to honor any U.S. veteran. Each brick displays the veteran's name, branch of service, and dates of service.  It is a meaningful and lasting way to honor the military service of a loved one or friend.

Bricks are engraved and installed on an annual basis in time for Memorial Day.  Orders must be received by March 1st to meet that year’s installation.  

To Purchase a Brick

The cost of a personalized brick is $250. Place your order online through the Parks Foundation of Clark County, or you may use the brick order form and mail it to the Parks Foundation as noted on the form.

Proceeds from brick sales support the ongoing maintenance of the Battle Ground Veterans Memorial.   Thank you.
