Words sometimes don't come easily when trying to figure out what to say on a plaque. Fortunately - if you stick to some basics, the task of composing a concise and meaningful message is not all that hard. Here is our formula:
1) Who is giving the plaque? (Johnson City Fire Department)
2) Who is receiving the plaque? (Dan McHenry)
3) What is the plaque for? (recognition and appreciation of 10 years of service)
4) When is the plaque presented? (August 23, 2009)
With this information in hand, a typical plaque inscription might read:
Presented To
Dan McHenry
In Recognition and Appreciation Of
Your Ten Years Of Tireless and Dedicated
Service To The Department
Johnson City Fire Department
August 23, 2009
