Legacy Stones are 12" x 12" x 2" grey granite squares that represent one of the main means for meeting the operating and maintainence costs of The Highground Veterans Memorial Park.  For a $435 donation, families and organizations may place a stone on the West Walkway, contribute material toThe Registry, and participate in the 90- minute ceremony.  We call Legacy Stones living tributes because they are meant to honor special people in our lives including veterans and nonveterans, living or passed.

 

 

2010 Meditation Stone Placement

September 11, 2010   9:30 a.m.

Meditation Stones are different from Legacy Stones in several ways. They are 12” x 12” x 2” red granite squares, limited in number, and only placed on the floor of the Meditation Shelter located in one of the four rooms of the Meditation Garden. A $500 donation for these unique stones helps The Highground with ongoing garden construction and ensures support for its future.

 

2010 Korean Stone Placement

June 12, 2010 1:00pm

Korean Tribute Stones stand apart from Legacy and Meditation Stones in two ways. They are a polished black granite stone, 10” x 12” x 1.25”, with white lettering. Korean Tribute Stones are placed vertically on the face of two rows of rice paddies as part of the Korean Tribute. The number available is limited by the area of the rice paddies, approximately 180. A donation of $575 helps The Highground maintain the upkeep of this tribute to the "Forgotten War".
