Memorial pavers available to honor military

Memorial pavers can now be purchased to remember fallen military personnel from the Inland Northwest.

The pavers will go into the walkways around a new memorial sculpture to honor post-Sept. 11 military personnel who have died.

It will be located at the southeast corner of the Spokane Veterans Memorial Arena.

Regional members of the Gold Star Families support organization have been behind the drive for the sculpture, called Illuminating Courage.

A dedication is planned for Nov. 11 at 11:30 a.m. at the memorial site.

Four-by-eight-inch engraved pavers with three lines of text are available for $100.

Eight-by-eight-inch engraved pavers with six lines of text are $200. Military logotypes are available on the larger pavers, but will reduce the text to four lines.

Orders received by Sept. 15 will be in place for the dedication.

To order pavers and for more information, go to illuminatingcourage.org or email IlluminatingCourage@ gmail.com.

The memorial drive is being led by the Washington State Fallen Heroes Project, a nonprofit veteran organization. All donations are tax deductible.
