Mason Veterans Memorial 20th Anniversary

The Mason Veterans Memorial was dedicated in 2003 and will celebrate its 20th anniversary this year. The City will be investing in improvements to the Mason Veterans Memorial as part of its anniversary. This work includes new landscaping, lighting, concrete work, replacement of memorial bricks, and the addition of the Space Force monument as well as a new Gold Star Families Memorial and Purple Heart Memorial. As part of celebrating 20 years, construction is anticipated to be completed by Veterans Day this fall.

The memorial bricks at the Memorial were laid on a bed of sand, which has resulted in bricks settling causing a potential trip hazard. The bricks have also become faded and there is a need for additional space allocated specifically for Veterans directly in front of the military branch monument stones. The pavers were removed in January, and a new concrete base and new pavers are anticipated to be installed in February. New installation will prevent future settling or lifting and provide additional areas for memorial bricks. Concrete will also be slated for the base of the Gold Star Families and Purple Heart memorials as well as a larger monument stone for the Never Forget Garden. Additional lighting and landscaping for the new monument stones are also included in the Veterans Memorial improvements.
