Thank You Rockin' 4 Heroes!

The new weekend is almost here, but we are still buzzing about the smash success of last weekends big event. Last Sunday we were honored to be included in the Rockin’ 4 Heroes concert, at James D Kreigh Park in Oro Valley. It was the second year of the show, and is put on as a free event to the public as a tribute to our First Responders, Veterans and all our other veterans.

Before the band took stage there was a ceremony that included The Presentation of Colors by American Legion, the singing of the National Anthem, a fly-over by the Tucson Police Department helicopter, and an awards ceremony by our AZ Heroes Memorial team to 5 of our outstanding heroes, including a World War 2 veteran. Our Honorary Chair, Richard Carmona, spoke about the importance of recognizing the service and sacrifice made by our military, first responders and healthcare workers, and the crowd could not have been more supportive.

A special thanks to Mike and Bonnie, who are the founders of this amazing event. They created the running concert series as a way to honor the first responders who helped treat their son during his long battle with cancer, before passing away recently. They spoke of the character and selflessness that the First Responders and Medical Workers displayed during the ordeal, and wanted a way to pay tribute to that spirit. What an incredible way to say thank you! We are inspired and honored to have been part of it, and are so grateful to the tremendous effort Mike and Bonnie and their team have put forth!

Good morning from the Arizona Heroes Memorial at Naranja Park in beautiful Oro Valley, AZ! Today we're announcing that on Wednesday, February 19th we will be hosting a Navy Week celebration at the Memorial. The event will be held starting at 1500 hours (3:00 pm) and is open to the public. The US Navy representatives describe the event as follows:
"Navy Week proclamations are a wonderful way for the Navy and local communities, like Oro Valley, to come together and celebrate the Navy being in the city. It provides the Navy a chance to showcase our Navy Band Southwest and USS Constitution Color Guard team, while also recognizing Vietnam War veterans of all services and our U.S. Navy Gold Star family members in the Tucson area. Additionally, the community has the chance to engage with hometown Sailors and Sailors from one of our namesake assets."
Please plan to join us on February 19th!

And the ribbon gets officially cut, opening the Arizona Heroes Memorial to the public!

Hello from the now open Arizona Heroes Memorial! We recently held our Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting ceremony, attended by well over 500 supporters and members of the community! We had a number of dignitaries in attendance, and the ceremony was beautiful, including a fantastic Color Guard presentation and a very moving flyover of two F-16 Fighter Jets! The Memorial looks beautiful, and the attendees were very pleased and impressed during their initial tour after the Ribbon Cutting. Thank you very much to all of the many volunteers that made the ceremony possible. We could not have held such a great event without you! We hope to see you at the Memorial site very soon! ...
