The site also features a brick walkway and three benches.

   Those who wish to donate can purchase bricks for $100-a-piece to be placed on the walk. Each brick can be inscribed with a message, up to three lines long with 13 characters in each line, according to Mr. Schmalz. He said that about half of the bricks have been sold on the walk.

   A bench is also available for purchase, for a price of $25,000.

   Mr. Schmalz said that $25 of the cost of each brick goes toward the materials, and the remaining $75 is placed in a fund to maintain the memorial and keep the fountain working properly.

   At Tuesday’s Township Council meeting, Councilwoman Carol Barrett said she had purchased two bricks for her parents, and encouraged residents to donate to the memorial.

   ”It gives me great comfort to see their bricks there when I am leaving the municipal building,” she said.

   Those interested in purchasing bricks can do so by contacting Mr. Schmalz at 732-329-4000 ext. 7275 or by email at rschmalz@sbtnj.org
