Engraved Bricks Spots Still Available at Downtown Service Memorial
As a tribute to those brave men and women who serve to provide safety and protect our freedoms, both at home and abroad, the Town of Apex constructed a memorial space in the heart of downtown at the corner of Salem Street and Saunders Street.
Paths made from engraved bricks radiate out from the center of the monument. Approximately 60 blank bricks remain, and can be purchased for $200 each. Funds from brick purchases are used solely for the ongoing maintenance and upkeep of the memorial area.
