Honor a Veteran on the Town Common
The Memorial Paver Program of
VFW Post 6714 — the Barcomb-Trowbridge Post — gives families, friends, and
fellow veterans a way to place a name where West Springfield gathers to
remember. Each engraved paver becomes part of the War Memorial on the Town Common.
Pavers may honor any veteran of
any branch and any era, living or deceased.

Writing your inscription
• All inscriptions are engraved
in CAPITAL LETTERS and centered on the paver by the engraver.
• Each line may have up to 16
characters. Spaces and punctuation count as characters.
• 4x8 pavers hold 3 lines; 8x8
pavers hold 6 lines.
• The Post may adjust an
inscription for clarity or fit and will contact you before engraving if a
change is needed.
• Once a paver has been
engraved, the inscription cannot be changed.
Ideas for what to include:rank and name • branch of service • years served • conflict, unit, or ship • a
short message such as IN LOVING MEMORY, WITH GRATITUDE, or NEVER FORGOTTEN.
