The Parks and Recreation Department is inviting Lincoln residents to the Bricks of Honor dedication event this Saturday at 10 a.m at Veterans Memorial Garden in Antelope Park.
The program recognizes those veterans whose family and friends have purchased a dedication brick for and commemorates the founding of the garden. “Lincoln Parks Foundation is proud to work with Parks and Recreation to recognize these heroes for their brave service to our country. The legacy of these men and women will be held in high honor for generations to come,” says Randy Gordon, Executive Director of the Lincoln Parks Foundation.
The Veterans Memorial Garden was created after a traveling Vietnam Memorial Wall exhibit was displayed at Antelope Park in 1989. The garden contains over 5,000 personalized bricks that celebrate the pride, patriotism, and sacrifices of military personnel.
