Questions
I would like to order tiles for several members of my family. Can they be placed together on the Wall?
Yes, if they are ordered together. Please include a note with your tile applications and DD214s that you would like us to place these tiles together on the Wall.
What does the $125 include?
It includes the cost of the 4" x 12" absolute black granite tile, its engraving, and an amount set aside for the future maintenance of the Wall.
Can I order several tiles for my employees and have our company name placed on the tiles along with the individual's military information?
You can order several tiles for your employees and they can be placed together on the Wall if they are ordered at the same time. No company names are allowed on the tiles; each tile honors only the veteran and his or her military experience.
Can I request that my tile be placed in a specific location on the Wall?
No, that is simply not possible.
My social security number appears on the DD214. Do you need that to process my tile application?
No. You can remove that from the copy you send us.
Are you still accepting tile orders?
Yes! We will be adding tiles to the Wall for a long time. It holds over 900 tiles. We will be adding tiles to the top half of the Wall first. There are six sections in the Wall. We mount complete rows of tiles about once a month.
We will notify you when your veteran's tile is going to be mounted. We plan to have a small ceremony at the Wall each time we mount additional tiles on the Wall of Honor.
Will there be a guide to help me locate my veteran's tile on the Wall?
Yes. The location of tiles mounted on the Wall is noted on the Who's On the Wall page.
I heard that a book is being written about the Alpine Wall of Honor. Is that true?
Yes. It has been tentatively titled "Mission Honored - A Dream Achieved - True stories of the Veterans on the Alpine Wall of Honor". It will include the heartfelt stories of those men and women and what it took to create the Wall. You can place an advance order for the book by clicking here. If you have purchased a tile and would be willing to be interviewed for possible inclusion in the book, please send us an email.
I also heard that a documentary about the Alpine Wall of Honor is in the works. Is that true?
Yes. Ron Cook, photojournalist with Instant Buzz Media who has filmed the videos on this site is planning to create a documentary. Check back for more details as they become available.
