We believe that every veteran deserves a tangible way of being publicly recognized for their service. Our StepStone campaign offers all who served our country a special place of remembrance at the Alabama Veterans Memorial Park.

Each tax-deductible $100 donation to the StepStone campaign provides a place of distinct honor for any US veteran or military unit, who you, your family or group wish to memorialize. Plus, a portion of your contribution will be earmarked for a veterans organization that you select from our list of StepStone partners.

If you are a US veteran, or if there is someone close to you, living or deceased, who served our nation, take this rare opportunity to have a StepStone marker engraved and permanently inlaid on the grounds of the Alabama Veterans Memorial Park, for all to see.

Contact us today at 205/912-2019 or 800/288-7890.

IMPORTANT: If you purchase a StepStone Paver online, you must send an email to avstepstone@gmail.com with your name, and the honoree's name, rank and branch of service.

Tucked away in the closets and attics amidst withered scrapbooks and newspaper clippings are stories of men and women who were called upon to fight for their country and they answered. At the Alabama Veterans Memorial, we don't think those who fought, whether it be WWI or the Persian Gulf, should ever have to fight to be remembered.

Our book, entitled Identifying Courage, is a compilation of stories designed to identify the courage of people all around us, both living and dead, who fought for the freedom of their country. The book includes detailed accounts of ordinary people who were asked to do something extraordinary. The stories chronicle heroism in every conflict of the 20th Century and include actual family photos and recollections from family members and veterans alike.
