Dr. E. Bruce Heilman, a veteran of the Battle of Okinawa, is celebrating his 90th birthday this year by embarking on a 6,000-mile motorcycle ride across America. Dr. Heilman will be visiting 3 of the Veterans Memorials created by Willis Granite Products while on his journey. On May 3, 2016 he will be in Oklahoma City at the USS Oklahoma Memorial located across from the Oklahoma State Capitol & the USS Oklahoma Anchor Memorial located in Campbell Park in Oklahoma City. On May 4, 2016 he will be visiting the Texas Panhandle War Memorial located in Amarillo, TX. Most of the design and granite work for these 3 Veterans Memorials were created by Willis Granite Products in Granite, OK. We are proud to be a small part in the journey of Mr Heilman as he rides across America to raise awareness for the 75th anniversary of Pearl Harbor.

This article is from the Journal Record in Oklahoma City about Brenda Hickerson, artist at Willis Granite. Brenda is the youngest of three daughters running the family business, Willis Granite in Granite, OK.

Most of the letter engraving on a granite monument is done by machine sandblasting anymore, while artistic textures and subtle tone differences are done by hand with carbide-tipped tools, by Hickerson and her sister Linda Morris.
