The Commemorative Brick Program initially began in late 1998 as a way to honor heroes and raise funds to complete construction of The National World War II Museum. Today, not only do bricks fill the Museum's Hall of Heroes and Louisiana Memorial Pavilion, they line the sidewalks at the museum entrance and outdoors around the Museum as well. The bricks honor WWII Veterans as well as other personal heroes
In 2007 on the 25th Anniversary of the USS Keokuk’s first reunion a brick was purchased to honor our sailors who served valiantly during World War II.
We would particularly like to thank the “greatest generations” next generation for their help with this project and in keeping the USS Keokuk Reunion’s “afloat”.
