Veterans Memorial Day Ceremony When: Monday, May 27, 2019 from TENTATIVE TIMES 8 am – 12 NoonWhere: Anthem Veterans Memorial (upper park), 41703 N Gavilan Peak Pkwy, Phoenix, AZ 85086 (map) Description: The Anthem Veterans Memorial (AVM), located in Community Park, is a monument dedicated to honor the service and sacrifice of our country’s armed forces. It is a place of honor and reflection for veterans, their family and friends, and also is a place to show respect to those service men and women who have and continue to courageously serve our county. This event is sponsored by the Daisy Mountain Veterans. As of the time of this posting, DMFM CERT has committed to support this event with a first aid station, however no other details are available. We will probably need to arrive about 8:00 am for setup and the event will probably run until about 11:30 am, so allow for tear-down. Regardless, please sign up if you're available and I'll share details as I receive them.
