QUIKRETE Creates Specially Dyed Concrete for Cincinnati-Area Purple Heart Memorial
Project Announced by The QUIKRETE® Companies in Honor of Veterans Day
HARRISON, Ohio (PRWEB) November 11, 2005 -- The QUIKRETE® Companies created a specially-dyed purple concrete for the construction of a Purple Heart Memorial in Harrison, Ohio. The monument, unveiled by the J.B. Yeager American Legion Post 199 on Sunday, Aug. 7, is dedicated to those who have received, or will receive, the Purple Heart.
The monument is made of polished granite adorned with a replica of the medal and an engraved dedication. The granite slab is surrounded by purple QUIKRETE® concrete lined with red bricks that are engraved with the names of the post’s 47 casualties or war. In addition, marble benches and flowers line the memorial and two other marble slabs located nearby read the motto of the Purple Heart Order, “Some gave all, all gave some.”
“QUIKRETE was delighted to contribute to such a meaningful memorial honoring men who have served our country and received the nation’s oldest military decoration,” said Dennis Winchester, vice president of sales and marketing for The QUIKRETE Companies.
