News

Join the Persian Gulf Tribute Committee at the next meeting on July 25 at 10:30 a.m.  These veterans and families are working to bring a tribute to The Highground.  New members are always welcome.

The GI, Wife and Child have been installed in their homes within the Fountain of Tears and help us remember how strongly the pain of losing a loved one affects us. The dedication is scheduled for Memorial Day Monday May 25 at 1 pm. Everyone is invited to remember and share during this most poignant time in our nation’s history. A very special Thanks goes to the hundreds of contributors that helped to bring this project to completion. Volunteer and Contributors are the Heart of the Highground. Join us for this special Memorial Day celebration.

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.

 

 

2009 Meditation Stone Placement

September 12, 2009   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.
