Remembering the Fallen - Veterans AZ Episode 2

Veterans AZ

Apr 30 2021 • 25 mins

“All gave some, some gave all” -- the latest episode of Veterans AZ is dedicated to those service members who lost their lives in the line of duty. We remember them on Memorial Day and should remember them always.

This episode features an interview with Maj. Jim Geiser, USMC (Ret.), a longtime Scottsdale resident and Vietnam veteran who has dedicated his post service life to honoring the Fallen – fellow veterans who died in military service to the nation. Learn about his involvement creating the Arizona State University Veterans Memorial Wall, and about his latest project - the Scottsdale Memorial For the Fallen.

Did you know a large relic from the USS Arizona (BB-39) is now the centerpiece of a new tribute to the state’s namesake ship right here in the Valley? In this episode you also will learn how a conversation about a flag more than a decade ago led to a piece of the USS Arizona being delivered to the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community, who built an incredible new memorial built around it.

You will also meet Jan Scruggs, a man who channeled his traumatic experience in Vietnam to create one of the most meaningful and impactful memorials in the world – the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C.
