Residents of the Scottsdale area, including nearby Native American communities, have served with distinction in the United States military for more than 100 years. During the nation’s armed conflicts and in the course of military duty, 66 of those service members have made the ultimate sacrifice.
Their names are now permanently engraved on the granite faces of the Scottsdale Memorial for the Fallen.
The new memorial will be dedicated at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, March 18. The public is invited to attend the ceremony at Scottsdale City Hall’s Memorial Lawn, 3939 N. Drinkwater Blvd. (on the east side of City Hall).
The ceremony includes Mayor David D. Ortega, Scottsdale Historian Joan Fudala, the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary Band, the Scottsdale Fire Department’s pipes and drums, bugler Gil Gifford and a wreath laying by representatives from Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community and the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation. Readers will announce the 66 names engraved on the monument.
