This Holiday Season Give a Gift That Will Last a Lifetime

You can honor your loved one this holiday season with a lasting imprint by purchasing an NTC Commemorative Brick to be engraved and displayed in the Fieldstone Foundation Legacy Plaza, in the heart of Liberty Station’s Arts and Cultural District.

We are offering the same price as in 2004 at $150 per brick. Replicas are also available for $45. One-hundred percent (100%) of the net profits will support the transformation of the historic Naval Training Center into a vibrant arts and cultural district, while preserving the legacy of NTC and those who served.

Your Commemorative Brick can honor the military service of a family member, staff, friend…or perhaps yourself…or simply to show the support of your family or business for NTC’s exciting new mission. 

Submit your order by November 15, and your brick will be installed and your replica will be delivered in time for the holidays. Orders received after November 15 will be part of future installations. Click here to order online or contact Stacy Goodman, Director of Development, for more information at 619-573-9307 or [email protected].
