The Memorial will be a hallowed place honoring those brave, outstanding individuals who have dedicated their lives to ensuring our American values. The Memorial will be unique to Southern Arizona. The Memorial is to provide people with a physical space to remember and learn. The space itself is mindfully designed. As you enter the memorial, you will walk along the Pathway of Heroes. There will be 15-foot walls representing the branches of the Department of Defense: Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Coast Guard, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association, the U.S. Public Health Service and First Responders (Law Enforcement, Firefighting and Emergency Medical Services). All eyes will be drawn to the 24 foot high obelisk at the center of this special place representing the strength and courage of our heroes. Included in the Memorial is a covered amphitheater that will be used for education and a variety of community events. This Living Memorial is being privately funded. Visitation will be free to the public to recognize, honor and remember the living and fallen veterans and first responders.
