HACKETTSTOWN, NJ — People can buy an engraved paver to support the construction of a “Reflection Garden” in front of American Legion Blue Ridge Post #164 on Willow Grove Street.
Post 164 is requesting a $100 donation for each engraved paving stone, with a special message engraved on it to remember any member of the military, who served in any war.
At completion, the Reflection Garden will be open for the public with a cascading water wall, a red, white and blue theme, landscaping and a bench where visitors can sit and remember their loved ones.
