Cast Bronze Plaques for Big Star-Worthy Accomplishments
I often travel with my father on business trips. It’s something I’ve been lucky to do since I was much younger. One of the stops we made was Hollywood, California. Being the film geek I am, I requested we go see the Walk of Fame on Hollywood Boulevard. These brass cast memorials (often confused as bronze plaques) are a testament to those in film, television, radio, music, and theater. It’s definitely a sight to see.
The downside is that so many people make a difference in the world but only the famous get placement in this grandiose exhibit. We can’t all have our names etched in stars around the Hollywood Walk of Fame but that doesn’t mean we aren’t stars in our own right. Having accomplishments noticed is one thing, but having them etched in cast bronze plaques is a whole other thing. That’s why we should have memorials commissioned for the people that make and have made contributions to our society, even if it is just on the local scale.
A star is a star. It doesn’t mean you burn any less bright because you didn’t do your work for Hollywood. With a cast bronze plaque stating your name, accomplishments, and contributions everyone (at least in your town) will know who to thank and remember.
