The City of Bellflower’s Veterans Memorial
is located at Library Garden, 9918 Flower Street and is dedicated to the men and
women who are serving or have served our country in times of peace and war, and
especially to those who gave their lives in that service. The Memorial includes
a paved reflection area where inscribed bricks may be purchased for past or
present military personnel.
By purchasing an inscribed brick, you will
be preserving the memory and efforts of our distinguished service men and women
as well as supporting the upkeep and maintenance of the Veterans Memorial.
Inscribed bricks will become a permanent part of the Veterans Memorial and will
commemorate your loved one’s service for years to come.
The cost of a 4”
X 8” brick is $125 and you may select up to three lines of engraving with 18
characters per line (including spaces and punctuation). All donors will receive
a 3” x 1.5” replica brick with the same inscription. Inscription will be centered
in all capital letters and will include:
NAME
