Looking for a unique way to honor your veteran friends or family members? Have you always wanted to find a way to show your support for all veterans? Consider purchasing a personally engraved paver brick to be a permanent part of the Connecticut Trees of Honor Memorial. This living memorial will honor and forever remember our military men and women who served and those from Connecticut who made the ultimate sacrifice with their lives in Iraq or Afghanistan.

We have extended the deadline to Friday, July 17th at midnight to complete your personalized brick orders. Orders can be completed online using the link at www.bricksrus.com/order/trees.

Only orders received by Friday, July 17th at midnight will be processed for installation this summer.
