Veterans Memorial
WOW! What a response! When the community heard about the veteran's memorial, they jumped into action. More than 230 names were submitted, which were verified by a volunteer committee.
The Veteran's Memorial was unveiled on Saturday, August 24, 2024, as part of Founder's Day.
A formal dedication was then held on Veteran's Day, November, 11, 2024. We thank you entire community for supporting this beautiful project.
PRESS RELEASE - New Veterans Memorial Unveiled in Fruit Heights City
The committee continues to seek donations from the community. A local stone company, Rock'n Signs and Features, expertly created the memorial to the exact needs of our community and space. The costs of lights, cement work and landscaping continue, plus the efforts to engrave new names as they come in. New names will be engraved once a year and unveiled for Veterans Day. Donations of any amount can be made at Fruit Heights City Hall, 910 S. Mountain Road, or by calling City Hall at 801-546-0861, or ONLINE DONATIONS MAY BE MADE HERE.
The Fruit Heights Veterans Memorial recognizes those who have been, or are now, residents of Fruit Heights, and have served in the armed forces of the United States. In order that all eligible servicemen and women can be recognized, it is asked that an application be completed giving the name of the veteran, branch of service, permission to place the name on the memorial, and certification that the individual has served and been honorably discharged, or is now serving in the armed forces. This application can be obtained by visiting the Fruit Heights City offices or by calling 801-546-0861. These applications should be received by July 26, 2024. After the initial engraving, additional names will be added each year, or as necessary.
Our freedom as Americans is one of our most cherished possessions. We are so grateful for these freedoms, but they have not come without cost. We strive to never forget these brave Americans who were willing to give their lives that we can be free. It is our honor and responsibility to honor and remember these men and women for generations to come.
