Freedom is just one simple word in our English language but it has come to mean so much to us as Americans. Our history is filled with so many fellow Americans who have shed their blood to give us the freedom and quality of life that we all enjoy so much today. My grandfather fought in the Battle of the Bulge and told me many stories of World War II. What most impressed me is that he was not much older than I am when he went to war.

For my Eagle Scout Project, I have decided to construct a War Memorial in honor of all veterans who have fought past, present and future in Moore Township near Bath, Pa. in memory of my beloved grandfather. The War Memorial will be located in the Community Recreation Park of the Township off Route 946 by the football field in front of the existing flag pole. The War Memorial has a granite memorial stone engraved with "Dedicated in honor of the men and women that have fought for our freedom and quality of life past, present and future". In between the points of the blue star are five bronze emblems representing each of the five branches of service. Below the cement pad are red bricks which can be purchased and engraved.

To help raise some of the funds needed, we are providing an opportunity for you to partner with us in this project by offering bricks for sale. You may purchase a brick IN HONOR OF or IN MEMORY OF any military person in any branch of service past or present along with the person's name, rank, branch of service, and war fought if desired. The red bricks will be engraved in all capital letters with black paint filling the engraved area. There will be two sizes of engraved bricks offered for you to choose from. You may also wish to order an extra brick to keep for yourself or to give as a gift. You may also buy a donor certificate for $5.00 which you can send to the person you are honoring or to the person's family you are remembering. The bricks are offered in two sizes. The 4x8 engraved brick will have up to 3 lines of text and up to 18 characters per line for $50.00. The 8x8 engraved brick will have up to 6 lines of text and up to 18 characters per line for $100.00. Tim, my younger brother is continuing working on the Memorial for his Eagle Scout Project. He will be doing some landscaping around the Memorial. If we can raise enough money by donations, we would like to illuminate the Memorial and the flagpole so a flag can be placed permanently on the pole.

We hope that we can count on your support to complete this Memorial in the hopes that we can all show our pride and honor to the soldiers who have, who are and who will continue to serve our fine country that we call home.
