Appreciation Runs Deep in Battle Ground

You can be a part of Battle Ground’s Veteran’s Memorial this spring by purchasing a commemorative brick. Engraved and installed bricks are $250, and include the veteran’s name, branch of service, and dates of service. To be completed and installed by this Memorial Day 5/25, bricks must be ordered by March 1, 2020. Proceeds from brick sales support the ongoing maintenance of the memorial. Located in Kiwanis Park at 422 SW 2nd Ave in Battle Ground, the memorial is open to the public 7 days a week from dawn to dusk.
