The Woodlands Township is offering engraved granite tiles at The Way Home Veterans Memorial Monument, a permanent veterans memorial near The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion, along the project’s Walk of Honor, according to an Aug. 13 news release from The Woodlands Township.
The stones surround the project’s centerpiece, a sculpture by artist Edd Hayes featuring two fallen soldiers from The Woodlands area. The memorial was dedicated on May, 25, 2015. Tiles are installed twice a year ahead of Memorial Day and Veterans Day, according to the release. Veterans Day orders must be received by Oct. 5, and Memorial Day orders must be received by April 15. Hayes’ artwork can be found throughout The Woodlands at various sites.
