Photo Exhibit of Arizona’s Fallen on Display

At the Arizona Art Alliance Gallery  

   November 2, to November 25, 2012

Scottsdale –  A very emotional exhibit, “Remembering Our Fallen” will be on exhibit November 2nd through November 25, 2012 at the Arizona Art Alliance Gallery (Scottsdale Pavilions Shopping Center at Talking Stick, 9011 East Indian Bend Road, Scottsdale). The event will be held in conjunction with the dedication of a new Veterans Memorial Art Workshop and two other Arizona Art Alliance exhibits at Talking Stick.  This special month recognizing the service of our Veterans will also launch the newest of seven Art Alliance outreach programs (serving veterans with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder–PTSD).  REMEMBERING OUR FALLEN will honor the more than 140 Arizonans who have made the ultimate sacrifice in “The War on Terror” while serving in U.S. military in theaters in Afghanistan and Iraq. For additional information on the REMEMBERING OUR FALLEN events, please contact:  John Fontana, Arizona Art Alliance, 602-369-2854.  For additional media information, ONLY, please contact:  Carole V. Bartholomeaux, 602.404.8879.

“The warriors of the 21^st Century, professionals, who volunteered to join the United States Armed Forces, grew up in the shadow of September 11, 2001, a defining moment for most of them,” Fontana stated. “They come from all walks of life and every corner of our country, daring to go where so many never would.  They retain the face of freedom and build upon the legacies of those who went before them in a cause greater than themselves.”

“We can never forget those who sacrificed everything for our freedom.  We must remember these American Heroes and speak their names when we see their family members,” Colonel James Biernesser, USAF (Ret.) remarked.   “This exhibit was created so it can travel throughout Arizona, enabling more people to have the opportunity to honor and remember Arizona’s Fallen.”
