The Veterans Day Committee is taking steps to replace crumbling tiles in front of the Veterans Wall on the courthouse square.
For years, the tiles have been prone to damage to the point that some can no longer be read; others already have been removed altogether.
“We think we know the cause, but we want to make sure so it doesn’t keep happening,” committee member Tom Nevans told the Register.
Initial assumptions are the engraving process in the tiles cuts too deep, making the tiles easier to crack.
“Once we’re certain we know what the problem is, we’re going to do a fundraiser to pay to replace the broken ones,” he said.
The fundraiser likely will occur after the first of the year, he said.
The Veterans Day Committee will meet for its monthly meeting at 7 p.m. Tuesday at the Townhouse West Apartments. The public is invited.
