BRICK PROGRAM
At the 2015 Reunion, we were excited to announce a new opportunity for all who served aboard the USS Duluth (now also available to everyone). At the site of the anchor monument in Duluth, MN, a brick patio has been installed (see group photo above). Shipmates who served aboard the USS Duluth, as well as anyone else, are able to purchase bricks engraved/etched with their name and information, which will become a permanent part of the USS Duluth Anchor Monument.

These bricks, similar to those shown in the photos provided, will be available on a “first come, first served” basis and come with a 100 year warranty. Unless we are granted an expansion by the City, we only have 276 bricks that are available to be engraved. The black coloration at the bottom of the etched characters is the result of the laser etching process, which creates a burned black glass type of surface, much more permanent than any paint. The photos shown below are from a similar engraved brick project and are provided for reference only, to illustrate what ours will look like.

Anyone, whether they served aboard or not, can order an engraved brick for themselves or someone else. Some shipmates have also purchased an additional brick on behalf of a family member who served in the military or as a memorial for a shipmate who has passed away.
