Brick Engraving
Some projects are about remembering someone. This stone memorial brick is engraved for “CPL Earl E Kibbey,” US Army, listed as MIA on 12/03/1950 and accounted for on 08/04/2025, nearly seventy-five years later.
The lettering runs in bold block capitals down the left side of the brick, deep enough to read easily against the rough grey surface. To the right sits a Purple Heart graphic in color, the gold profile and purple field standing out from the stone with the ribbon above.
Engraving brick is a very different job from marking a slide. The surface is porous and uneven, so the settings have to be adjusted to get letters that look solid instead of speckled. That care shows in how cleanly the dates sit in line.
If your organization or family is planning a memorial, we’d be honored to help. Call 937-550-1119.
