Heroes Plaza is a war memorial being constructed in memory of all Canadian County veterans who gave their lives in War World I, World War II, Korea, and Vietnam. It will be located at the corner of Rock Island and Woodson in the County seat of El Reno. Council approval has been received for this project which is also endorsed by the El Reno Chamber of Commerce. The Memorial will feature the World War I Dough Boy sculpture and three new monuments to be constructed for World War II, Korea, and Vietnam. The monuments will list the names of all Canadian County veterans who gave their lives in each of the wars.
The majority of the funds raised for Heroes Plaza will be raised from paving brick donations. The $25.00 donated bricks will cover the plaza grounds and walls. A donation of $25.00 per brick includes the cost of three lines of inscription. Each line on the brick contains 13 SPACES. Example: John R Doe (10 spaces), Sarah Berrah(12 spaces). Spaces between the names ARE COUNTED.
Brick donations will help build the Heroes Plaza memorial. You can have your own name placed on the brick, or dedicate it to a loved one or friend. Bricks can be dedicated to veterans, or ancestors, who have served our great country(Civil War, WWI, etc.). Bricks honoring military persons can list their rank, ship name, plane, branch, dates served, etc. It is important to note that while the bricks can be donated in honor of your special veteran YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE A VETERAN OR KNOW A VETERAN TO BE ABLE TO DONATE A BRICK. You can honor your parents, grandparents, or early family settlers of Canadian County. How about a brick to honor your high school, grade school, or a favorite teacher? The number of years you have been married, virtually any significant event! Civic organizations may want a brick for a special project, or person. THERE IS NO LIMIT TO THE NUMBER OF BRICKS THAT YOU MAY DONATE EITHER TO AN INDIVIDUAL - OR A GROUP!
Please fill out the information below. Please fill out one form for EACH BRICK that you want to donate! A variety of information can be placed on the bricks - use your imagination!
