Military Veteran Plaques for
Memorials & Bases
Our owner is a U.S. Air Force veteran, and our military veteran plaques reflect that. We understand what a tribute means and what it demands — for individual veterans, VFW posts, unit memorials, and installation dedications.
A designer answers every call — not a salesperson, not a call center. Free design proof and exact quote before you spend anything.
Military Veteran Plaques Honoring Service
From individual memorials to VFW post dedications, these military veteran plaques honor real veterans and service members we’ve been proud to commemorate.
Cast Bronze Veterans Memorial for Ponce Inlet, Florida
After moving to the Ponce Inlet area, our customer noticed there wasn’t a local veterans’ memorial, so he organized its construction himself. With enthusiastic community support, this memorial was built in Kay & Ayres Davies Lighthouse Park, adjacent to the Ponce de Leon Inlet Light Station.
| Plaque Type | Cast |
|---|---|
| Material | Bronze |
| Size | 9-3/8″ × 30″ banner, plus circular seals |
| Finish | Brushed Satin Bronze raised, painted dark brown recessed |
| Special Features | Custom-shaped banner plaque with detailed circular seals |
I designed the “So long as there are VETERANS…” banner plaque to serve as a transition between the rigid, pointed monument and the round seals.

Cast Bronze WWII Memorial for Forester, Arkansas
Nine years after this plaque honoring his father was dedicated in France, customer Bill Winters wrote back: “Your handiwork is still honoring my dad, still in very good condition, still telling the story. My friends visit every year, on V/E Day, and place flowers.”
| Plaque Type | Cast |
|---|---|
| Material | Bronze |
| Size | 18″ × 12″ |
| Finish | Brushed Satin Bronze raised, painted dark brown recessed |
| Special Features | Custom soldier graphic using Flat Relief two-tone technique |
Notice the soldier graphic actually has minimal detail, yet your mind fills in the rest. This special two-tone technique maintains the accuracy of a photograph without costlier photo-reproduction processes.

Cast Bronze Memorial for 1st Lieutenant Joel C. Gentz
Throughout high school, college, and his military career, 1st Lt Gentz pursued his goals relentlessly, including two grueling years of training to become a Combat Rescue Officer, turning down a pilot’s slot along the way. His Air Force ROTC detachment at Purdue University wanted his recognition to be permanent.

| Material | Bronze |
| Size | 20″ × 16″ |
| Finish | Brushed Satin Bronze raised, painted dark brown recessed |
| Special Features | Bas relief sculpture of 1st Lt Gentz |
When all of this plaque’s inscription information was presented to us, it looked overwhelming. By properly organizing and arranging it, that first impression of information overload vanished.
