Veterans Memorial

Our Veterans Memorial

The La Vernia Veterans Memorial, a project of the La Vernia Historical Association, is a monument to recognize U.S. military Veterans, living or deceased, who have completed their service honorably. It is located in La Vernia City Park. Orders for wall inscriptions are accepted year-round. Wall inscriptions are engraved twice a year, provided we have received at least five applications. Other opportunities to honor Veterans at the monument are with personalized benches or commemorative bricks.

We will continue to accept names for the walls, benches, and Patriots’ Pathway until they are filled. We invite you and all Veterans to join us every Veterans Day at 11:00 a.m. for a brief and respectful ceremony.

Ways to Honor Your Veteran

Benches

As of 10-22-2025, we have only one full bench and two sides remaining for inscription orders. Each side is $2,500 to be engraved with the name of your Veteran.

Please consider honoring a Veteran by sponsoring a personalized bench ($2,500 for each side). Bench inscriptions must be for a Veteran’s name(s) only (no advertising), but anyone, including businesses, may be a Sponsor of a bench. Included with your bench order is sponsor recognition on the permanent Donor Recognition Plaque on the Donor stanchion, which will recognize all bench sponsors, including those sponsored by a business, individual, organization, group, or family. The beautiful, cast aluminum plaque with the names of major Donors and Bench Sponsors will be a lasting tribute to the generosity and support of those who have contributed to the memorial’s construction and maintenance.
