Need a gift for someone who served or is still serving our great country, or maybe you may want to honor someone's memory? The Nassau County Veterans Monument Fund, Inc. is accepting names for the "Wall of Honor," located at Veterans Plaza in Eisenhower Park, East Meadow.

Let me tell you about what we can do for you or your loved ones. Our project is an ongoing, growing monument with an unveiling once a year of additional panels on the "Walls of Honor." We are a nonprofit organization not affiliated with Nassau County or any other government agency. We offer all veterans and members of the Merchant Marine throughout the United States an honored place on these walls. Our vision is to have the names of all veterans or merchant mariners, whether living or deceased, who have served our great country during war or peace, inscribed on our walls.

Space is available for those who are interested in including their name or that of a loved one. Proof of military service and a contribution of $100 per name are required. Each individual may submit a 50-word biography that will be computerized and housed in a kiosk on the Veterans Plaza in the near future, at no additional charge. I must stress we are not a memorial.

If you are interested in enrolling, applications are available by calling 681-8214.
