Type Parking Location Type Parking Attest: May 15, 2020 Honoring vets with a living memorial By Barbara Taormina A few years ago, Thomas Marcinowski read a story in National Geographic about an underwater memorial where people combined the ashes of recently lost loved ones with markers and stones to create a reef which would stand as a lasting tribute to family members and friends. Marcinowski, who has ties to Revere, was inspired by the idea which honored those who died and, at the same time, gave them a fi nal role in helping to rehabilitate a marine ecosystem. He also saw a unique opportunity to honor recently deceased vets. Marcinowski recast the idea and launched Veterans Memorial Reef, a 160-acre site located fi ve miles off the coast of Carolina Beach/Wrightsville Beach in North Carolina where he plans to place the fi rst sections of the reef during the weekend before Veterans Day this November. The reef will be built with 2000-pound concrete domes, or markers, with holes on all sides to allow fi sh and water to fl ow in and out. Families can mix their loved one’s ashes into the concrete or place then in an urn inside the dome. Each marker will have a name plate and families can add personal touches such as statuettes, inscribed messages or handprints. The markers will be lowered about 40 feet down and placed on the ocean fl oor where, Marcinowski said they will begin boosting marine life by accelerating the growth of coral and forming a reef that will provide a habitat for thousands of species of fi sh and sea creatures. In a sense, veterans will live on as part of a dynamic marine ecosystem. VETERANS | SEE PAGE 7
