The Sacrifice of Heroes Monument
Curator: Sierra Vista Veterans Memorial Improvement Foundation
Theme: The Sacrifice of Heroes
The Heroes among Veterans have given selflessly of their effort and their personal safety to fight for the causes of our nation and protect their brothers and sisters in harms way. The cost is often seen in graphical physical evidence, but often is also hidden beneath an exterior of calm and stone resolve.
Veterans with war-time service often display heroic caring and commitment to their mission and fellow soldiers, airmen, sailors and marines. Without this type of commitment, the military services would devolve into "everyone for himself" mentality, cowardice, and desertion. American fighters possess a unique sense of purpose and valor unsurpassed by any other nation. Honoring this sacrifice through images and dedication of words provides symbolic and heartfelt gratitude from the nation to recognize their service.
The men and women
of our military defended our
nation, even with their very lives,
as they deterred aggression from
enemy forces and responded
to national emergencies. They
served and continue to serve
our nation with honor and valor.
The Sierra Vista Veterans Memorial Improvement Foundation (SVVMIF) proudly supports this monument to the military veterans of this community and our nation, without whose sacrifice, our freedoms would be a distant memory. The SVVMIF curated images and inscriptions on this monument.
