The National D-Day Memorial Foundation expanded the brick campaign within Stettinius Parade to create The Annie J. Bronson Veterans Memorial Walk.
The inscribed bricks are a permanent tribute to men and women who have served in the Armed Forces of the United States. These lasting tributes are not limited to service in World War II and can encompass any service period. Placed prominently on the Memorial grounds, they will be viewed by thousands of visitors each year. The placement of each brick is not only an investment in the legacy of a loved one but also an investment in the future of the Memorial. Proceeds from the brick campaign will assist the Foundation in maintaining the Memorial for many years to come. At a cost of $250 each, the bricks are an affordable way to give permanent veteran recognition at the National D-Day Memorial.
