Courthouse, Prescott, Arizona

The moving All Veterans Memorial, on the west side of Courthouse Plaza,
is the fourth of the five bronzes, having been dedicated in 1989. This inspiring
tribute to the U.S. Armed Forces was created by native artist Neil Logan as
a memorial to Yavapai County veterans who gave their lives in World War I,
World War II, Korea and Vietnam. The two soldiers depicted are in Vietnam
where one is signaling for a medical helicopter to land and rescue a wounded
man. Artist Logan attended Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff after
having served in Vietnam for 27 months.
