CALIFORNIA HISTORICAL RADIO SOCIETY IS PLEASED TO HONOR

EDWARD A. SHARPE
WITH THE
CHARLES D. 'DOC' HERROLD AWARD FOR OUTSTANDING ACHIEVEMENT IN THE PRESERVATION AND DOCUMENTATION OF EARLY RADIO.

BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, 1992:

 

 

 

November 11, Veterans Day 2011

Thank you Veterans and your families 
for your service and your sacrifice.

 

 

Today at 10 a.m. at the Glendale Veterans Memorial, on the east lawn of the Glendale Main Library, 5959 W. Brown, the Glendale Veterans Memorial Commission and three other local Veterans groups will remove the old flags from the Memorial and replace them with three new ones.  A new United States Flag, a new Arizona State Flag and a new POW/MIA Flag.  This annual ceremony is largely due to the efforts of Master Sgt. Wayne Crusinberry.

 

To say a simple thank you to a Veteran, means a lot and should not be overlooked or considered too small a gesture.  It also means that before you say thank you, you have to first recognize what Veterans, soldiers, sailors, nurses, doctors, have done for all of us.

 

Public Art Collection

For Every Drop of Blood—For Every Life Devoted Veterans Memorial
Joe Tyler

Bronze, copper, steel, sandstone and concrete
Completed: 2001

This artwork includes five welded steel trees, one for each branch of the armed services.  The intertwined limbs of each sculpted tree are symbolic of the combined efforts of the Air Force, Army, Marines, Navy and Coast Guard in the defense of the United States.  The leaves in the sculpted canopies represent the thousands of Veterans who have served, are currently serving and will serve in the Armed Forces.  In the center is an obelisk featuring a depiction of the battleship silver service pattern commissioned for the USS Arizona and actual salvaged pieces from the USS Arizona.

Joe Tyler currently lives and works in Arizona.  He has successfully completed public art projects for several Valley cities, including Tempe, Scottsdale, Mesa and Phoenix.  The City of Glendale gratefully acknowledges the Glendale Veterans Memorial Association and Bob Manzetti (donator of USS Arizona salvaged pieces) for their help in the creation of the Veterans Memorial.   (Photo  and info from COG)
