The Prescott Valley Town Council has
dedicated the land and approved the site for the monument
between the Civic Center and Police Department building.
The
design concept will include elements of meditation and
contemplation to honor the people who have served our
nation in all branches of military without naming specific
individuals or wars/conflicts as this artistic message
will be all-encompassing, for all who have served or
will serve in the future.
The
Prescott Valley Military Service Monument Committee
is undertaken by the local Prescott Valley service clubs
as well as the businesses of Prescott Valley. We are
working with a variety of organizations including DAV,
VFW, American Legion, Marines, Air Force, Submarine
Group, Korean War Veterans, and Underaged Military Service
Veterans, just to start. All service organizations are
invited to work together to move this project forward.
The
fund raising goal to complete the project has been set
as $120,000. The committee will ask the public for contributions
as this project will not be funded by the taxpayers.

The Walk of Honor
Eligibility
The Walk of Honor is far more than a fund
raiser. It is part of the way the community
can honor our veterans. Therefore it must
be understood that the red "bricks of
honor" are for veterans only.
The Business and Corporate bricks are yellow
and intended to demonstrate support of veterans
and will be a part of the border of the walkway.

"Military
group honors dentist with plaque"
The PV committee members
honored Dr. J. Brett Mangum, DDS, for buying 27 bricks
that will line the walkway of the Prescott Valley Military
Monument.
Mangum, who served as a dental officer in the U.S. Navy
during the war in Iraq, bought the most bricks so far,
said Messersmith, teasurer for the committee.
The bricks are inscribed with the name of a member of
a veteran, the branch of service and dates of service.
Mangum bought a brick for himself and 3 family members:
his father, brother Rustin of Virginia, and grandfather
Claud, of Utah. Mangum is a contract dentist at the
Bob Stump VA Medical Center in Prescott and has bought
bricks on behalf of many of his patients. He said he
thought this was a good way to honor veterans and the
monument is a great project.
