Freedom Rock will be getting a face lift.

AMVETS Post 63 in Knoxville will be constructing a Veteran’s Memorial Walkway around the Freedom Rock.

Former Mayor Don Zoutte says the bricks of the walkway will be personalized the names of veteran’s, their branch of service, and the dates they served. Benches and a flag will also be placed by the Freedom Rock.

The project needed the approval of the Knoxville City Council.

Information on how to get a brick placed at the Freedom Rock site is available at the Iowa State Savings Bank or The Great Southern Bank in Knoxville. Brick order forms, along with a minimum $50 donation, can either be dropped off the previously mentioned banks or be sent to:
