Veteran Memorials

How to Select a Meaningful Memorial

Let’s explore the questions that will enable you to make the right decision for your family.

Civic Art Honors Veterans, Communities, and Leaders

Civic art plays an important role in any community. These public pieces allow people to honor the vital members of a community, both past and present. Civic artwork reminds us of those who have served, sacrificed, and made a difference.

Think about memorials in Washington, D.C., like the World War II Memorial or the Vietnam Veterans Memorial—these are powerful, somber works that stand as tributes to the men and women who gave everything. It’s hard to imagine our country’s capital without these important pieces of civic art that memorialize our history and people.

At OM Stone, we work with communities across the United States to create unique, impactful civic art. If you’re a city leader or community manager looking for a company that can produce highly creative, quality civic art, you’re in the right place.

Whether you’re interested in a veterans’ memorial, a tribute to law enforcement, a historical marker, special stonework for a building, a sculpture, or any other type of stone artwork, OM Stone can help bring your project to life.

Projects Recognizing Veterans Unite Communities

Some of OM Stone’s most important work is crafting civic art that honors veterans. One of our recent projects was in Springfield, Tennessee, for the Orange Heart Medal Foundation. This group works to bring recognition to Vietnam veterans exposed to Agent Orange.

Affected veterans can suffer from a multitude of serious illnesses, and many have perished because of Agent Orange.

The cenotaph we created for Springfield Memorial Gardens holds the names of 532 vets who died due to exposure. It’s intended as a tribute to the 2.7 million Vietnam veterans who served from 1955 to 1975, the men and women who later died after their service, and the millions exposed to the toxic herbicide.

When the monument was dedicated, a large swath of the community turned out for the dedication. We believe this type of civic art serves a crucial purpose within a community, reminding us of history and honoring those who served and died.
