FAQs
Who can purchase a paver?
Anyone may purchase a Veteran or Pathway paver. This memorial is dedicated to all service members who served in the U.S. military. The Veteran paver will be placed in the Circle of Honor and the Pathway paver will be placed in the pathway leading to the Circle of Honor.
May I purchase more than one paver?
Yes. A separate Paver Request Form is required for each paver.
What payment methods may I use to purchase a paver?
We accept check or money order. Make check or money order payable to: Veterans Commemorative Plaza LLC. In the note section on the check, please reference the requested name to be engraved on the paver. Mail the check along with a copy of the request form to: Veterans Commemorative Plaza LLC, C/O Bill Adams, 12533 W. McLellan Ct, Glendale, AZ 85307.
Is my contribution tax deductible?
No. Contributions to the Veterans Commemorative Plaza are NOT tax deductible.
When will my paver be added to the VCP?
Purchased pavers will be installed in the VCP by Armed Forces Day (month of May) and Veterans Day (month of November). Pavers purchased prior to April 1 will be added to the VCP in May. Pavers purchased prior to October 1 will be added to the VCP in November.
How many Veteran pavers and Sponsorship pavers will be sold?
The original design includes approximately 2,500 Veteran pavers and 250 Pathway pavers. If the need arises to accommodate more pavers, we will consider the option at that time.
How is the paver location determined? May I ask for a special location in the Circle of Honor?
Placement of the paver in the VCP Circle of Honor is not determined by the veteran’s military branch of service. Instead, it is placed according to the date it was purchased and received.
The placement of the paver begins at the center of the circle and spirals outward. Each of the five branches/sections in the Circle of Honor will have veterans from all services (i.e. a Navy paver may be potentially placed in the Army section). This placement symbolizes that all military services are working together to support the flag.
Due to the number of pavers in the Circle of Honor, we cannot guarantee any special placement of your paver. We will make every effort to keep family pavers together.
How do I designate a Veteran KIA, MIA, or POW on the request form?
On the third line of the form:
For KIA veterans, please use the Branch of Service abbreviation, followed by KIA, and the date killed in action. Example: USMC KIA 11-12-1968
For MIA veterans, please use the Branch of Service abbreviation, followed by the year entered into the Service, dash, MIA. Example: USN 1965-MIA
For veterans who were also a POW, please use the Branch of Service abbreviation, followed by the years in the service, followed by POW. Example: USAF 1965-1976 POW
