Cupertino Veterans Memorial

Cupertino Veterans Memorial

Many Cupertino citizens have stopped by the memorial since the
initial dedication to remember all those who have made sacrifices
so that we can enjoy our freedoms every day.

The Guardians is a very moving image of two defenders, ever watchful,
back to back. The two soldiers represented are Cupertino's own
Matthew Axelson, and James Suh, two Navy SEAL's who died fighting
the Taliban in Afghanistan during Operation Red Win gs.

Some of the guests at the dedication described the image as:
"The Guardians, defenders of our freedoms"

For those who were not able to join us for the 2012 Veterans Day
Celebration, the ceremonies were video streamed worldwide so
that active duty military, veterans, family and friends from
around the world could join us over the Internet. Here is the
link to the video which was sponsored this year by
www.USIIcenter.com.

This year, in a special tribute to Korean War veterans, we
dedicated a Korean War Boulder. This is the newest addition to
our Cupertino Veterans Memorial, recognizing all those who
served on freedom's frontier, in that first major conflict of the
Cold War era.
