Veterans Park raising funds

ODESSA—The Schuyler County Veterans Memorial Park is raising funds for park maintenance and upgrades through the sale of marble “memorial bricks.” Each brick will commemorate an honorably discharged veteran or any service person now on duty, and will be used to surround the pedestals supporting the park’s eagle sculptures.
The veterans honored need not be from Schuyler County. Bricks may be purchased in honor of a Revolutionary War veteran, an active-duty service person or anyone in between. The park has bricks honoring vets from as far back as the French and Indian Wars.
The memorial bricks are for sale through the park for $50. Application forms for the bricks are available at the visitor’s center of the park on Route 228, online at schuyleramericanlegion.com or from any member of Odessa Legion Post 676.
A Memorial Day Service will be held at the park May 26 at 11 a.m.
