Orders being taken for memorial bricks

With Memorial Day approaching, the Allamakee County Veterans Memorial Committee would like to remind those interested that orders for individual memorial bricks are still being taken. To date, over 1,200 individual bricks have been placed on the memorial site on the courthouse lawn.
This year, those interested in ordering a memorial brick should place their order no later than April 15. Every effort will be made to have the bricks ordered by that date in place by Memorial Day this year. If possible, orders received after April 15 will be placed prior to Memorial Day, but most likely will be put in place at a later date. Order forms are available at the Veterans Affairs Office in Waukon.
