In the future, Veterans names, service and dates will be on bricks. Everyone will be able to purchase a brick for the floor of the memorial site (pending on proof of service). They will randomly be placed around the monument. Names will be submitted through a future website where you can set up and design your brick and pay for it there. Instructions will be posted and listed on a future website that will be coming out soon.
