According to a poem written by Eric's mother, that's how he was known. Eric was a Junior Reserve Office Training Corps (JROTC) Cadet Captain, and this memorial plaque dedicates a rappel tower at Bandy's High School, where he attended.

The unusually high level of detail present in both Eric's image and that of the flag were made possible by the use of extremely large original photographs. An American flag was requested to reflect Eric's patriotism and his greatest dream; to fly jets for the United States Air Force.

As visitors to Montauk Point Lighthouse discover every single day, there was much more to Percy Heath than they ever knew.

This is what great memorial plaque design is all about; Giving people a small glimpse into a person’s life, revealing a portion of his or her character, and creating a new level of appreciation for that person in the minds of all who come across his or her memorial plaque.

“Son Percy said placing the monument in Turtle Cove couldn’t have been more appropriate. His father’s favorite fishing spot, he said, was on the ocean bluffs just below the higher hill of the Montauk Lighthouse. ‘This was one of my father’s favorite places on earth,’ he said. ‘I remember how we’d share lamps here while surfcasting in the dark. He loved this town and its people. Now he can fish in peace.” (source: New York Daily News)

Justice Integrity Service

This is the motto of the United States Marshals Service, an agency that has been serving our country for over 220 years, and has put away more fugitives, more criminals, than all other federal law enforcement agencies - combined. To put it mildly, they have a commanding presence.

When the agency needed a look that boldly communicated this presence, their product of choice was Engraved aluminum plaques. Each badge and seal is crafted from solid aluminum at a 20" diameter using agency graphics.

As stunning as they appear here, you should see them in person - as a visitor, of course, to one of their many regional offices. They look even better than these photos convey.

The historic Evergreen Train Depot, once part of the old L & N Railroad line, was built in 1907 when railroad transportation was king. It was quite ornate at the time, and was the only building in town with electricity.

After a complete renovation to restore its original beauty, the former train depot is now home to the Evergreen-Conecuh Chamber of Commerce and Economic Development Office.

City of Evergreen dedicated their renovation with a plaque featuring an architectural drawing of the building, recognition of city leaders, and a special thank-you to those who were involved in the project. It is prominently displayed outside the main entrance.

There is no mistaking the offices of the US Marshals Sex Offender Investigations Branch.
