PIKE ROAD, AL – The Town of Pike Road continues its annual tradition of honoring veterans with its Veterans Walk of Honor, giving residents an opportunity to recognize the service and sacrifice of a veteran through a personalized brick at the Town’s Veterans Memorial.
The engraved bricks are placed along the path leading to the memorial at Veterans Park, 4902 Pike Road. The program provides a lasting tribute to veterans while bringing the community together to honor those who have served and the freedoms they helped protect.
“In the month of November, every year, we have such a unique celebration of Veterans Day,” Mayor Gordon Stone said. “It is a special time out at our Veterans Memorial, but before we get to there, right now is the time for you to consider, is there a veteran that you know that you would love to honor?”
Stone encouraged residents to participate in the Walk of Honor by purchasing a brick in recognition of a veteran.
“With our veterans walk, our brick walk, there at the Veterans Memorial, it is a tremendous place for you to lay down a foundational brick and recognize that person or those people that you know have sacrificed and given on behalf of our wonderful nation, and the freedoms that we all enjoy,” Stone said.
Brick orders are due Sept. 11. Each brick costs $100 and can include up to three lines of text, with a maximum of 20 characters per line, including spaces.
Bricks purchased by the deadline will be permanently installed and unveiled during the Town of Pike Road’s Veterans Appreciation Ceremony in November.
The Walk of Honor is open to anyone who wants to honor a loved one, recognize a fellow veteran or remember those who served in previous generations. The Town said the program is intended to create a lasting space that reflects the community’s appreciation for veterans and military families.
Brick order forms are available through the Town of Pike Road and its website. Click HERE for more information.
