After moving to the Ponce Inlet area, our customer noticed there wasn't a local veterans' memorial. So, he took it upon himself to organize its construction. With the enthusiastic support of the local community and veterans' groups, this beautiful memorial was constructed in the Kay & Ayres Davies Lighthouse Park, adjacent to the Ponce de Leon Inlet Light Station.
As is the case with all images on our web site, these are actual photographs of real plaques. They are not simulated or artificially rendered in any way.
If you are visiting the Daytona Beach, Florida area, be sure to visit this beautiful Veterans' memorial. For additional information about Florida's tallest lighthouse, visit: Ponce de Leon Light Station

Designer's Notes:
For your viewing I am attaching photos from the extensive memorial dedication ceremony in France where the memorial plaque for my father was dedicated by the French people of the two small villages where he died in 1944.
Please accept my sincere thanks for all you and your company did for me. From my simple layout suggestion, you applied wonderful imagination and design skills to produce the perfect memorial to my father. I was confident from the outset that the results would be good. They were outstanding. Everyone was quite impressed with the simple beauty of the memorial.
You did the work under great time constraints, and met every deadline you set for yourself, then you delivered the finished plaque a day early. While this was not an inexpensive undertaking for me, I believe the value received was exceptional. Everyone who has seen the plaque compliments you.
I can tell you I will be spreading the word to others in the American WWII Orphans Network that Innovative Signs is the place to go for military memorial plaques.
Thank you.
I just wanted to let you know that your handiwork is still honoring my dad, still in very good condition, and still telling the story. I was fortunate to be able to visit the memorial in France last year and I can report the plaque still looks as good as it did 9 years ago. My friends visited the memorial yesterday, V/E Day, as they do every year, and placed flowers to dress it up in celebration. I am attaching the photo of the mayors of the two little villages who attended the annual ceremony.
Throughout high school, college, and his military career, 1st Lt Gentz set goals, pursued them relentessly, and fully achieved them - receiveing many honors and awards along the way.
His goal of becoming a Combat Rescue Officer, for example, required two years of grueling training, and turning down an offer of a pilot's slot.
It should be no surprise, then, that his Air Force ROTC Detachment at Purdue University wanted not only to honor and memorialize Joel, but to make their recognition permanent. This plaque was created to fulfill that purpose.

Like many World War II veterans, Bob Brown doesn't consider himself to be a hero. According to his hometown newspaper, the Vevay Reveille Enterprise: "...he sees his military service as a call to duty, a time of his life when he answered the call of his country and proudly served it."
Or, in Bob's own words: "You're just trying to do what they told you to do and do it to the best of your ability. That's all you can do. You got your orders on what to do and you did it."
For service to his country during World War II, Bob was honored with the Audie Murphy Award in Washington, DC. in 2011. These plaques were made to commemorate that event, and feature the story from his hometown newspaper.
