Now Accepting Nominations for the 2024/25 Veterans Wall
March 14, 2024
Nominations are underway! Canyon Vista Medical Center (CVMC) and the Legacy Foundation of Southeast Arizona (LFSAZ) are recognizing former or current residents of Cochise County who have served the country and our county. Nominations for the 2024/25 Veterans Wall are being accepted through July 1st, 2024. Nominations may be submitted posthumously.
Each year since 2015, 12 veterans have been selected for their military service and lasting impact on our community. CVMC and LFSAZ have a selection committee who review all nominees, and choose the veterans who have served our country and have demonstrated their commitment to Cochise County through volunteering and community service. The Veterans Wall and ceremony, held in November, honor vets for helping make Cochise County what it is today, with contributions ranging from campaigning for arts education in schools to creating ways to make health care more accessible.
Ruth Quinn, Board of Trustees Chair and Army Veteran, “Cochise County is filled with military veterans for whom selfless service is more than just an Army value. I am pleased to see CVMC and the Legacy Foundation of Southeast Arizona honor our local veterans' dedicated service to their country and their community, improving the lives of all who call this place home."
