VIETNAM VETERANS MEMORIAL...
 |
Paving stones are so often used to commemorate special events or special people. This was the case with the design of the veterans memorial in west hartford, connecticut. The design include a spiraling wall of peace, where a timeline is shown to represent important events. This wall is constructed out of granite and limestone blocks. |
The walkway around this memorial is paved using 10” by 5” by 2” solid granite polished paving stones. The names of veterans who served in this war will have their names engraved on these walkway paving stones.
By having the names of those great and brave soldiers engraved on the granite and limestone wall blocks as well as the granite paving stones along the walkway, they will be remembered forever. The engraved paving stones show a mark of respect for the soldiers and their families.
