My grandfather was one of six brothers who served in WWII.  He lives in Ocala, FL, where they have built a very nice Veterans Park.  You can have bricks, benches, and assorted things inscribed with your (or a loved one's) name, rank, and branch of service, to be placed permanently in the park. He volunteered and worked at the park from it's inception, until the Alzheimer's started to get bad.  He and his five brothers are all in the park.

 

The park also pays tribute to a late friend of mine.  Paul Ray Smith, who is on the Florida Medal of Honor recipients obelisk.  He was the first person to be given that signal honor for the Iraq and Afghanistan war.  He was quite an honorable (and brave) man.  He is still missed.
