Remembering Our Fallen
Board Directors Carlos Tejeda and Jim Ennes respectfully view the “Remembering Our Fallen” exhibit on its recent appearance in Bullhead City. Tejeda served in the U.S. Navy and Ennes served in the Army and Arizona National Guard.
The travelling photo display honors the sacrifice made by over 120 Arizonans killed in the War on Terror while serving in Afghanistan or Iraq. One of the fallen is Navy Hospitalman Dustin Burnett, of Fort Mohave.
The exhibit was hosted by the City of Bullhead City and was sponsored locally by a donation from Mohave Electric Cooperative. The Co-op’s sponsorship made it possible for the public to view the display free of charge.
“Remembering Our Fallen” was created by Bill and Evonne Williams of Patriotic Productions in Omaha, Nebraska in association with Bellevue University.
