6ft.high/5 feet wide - weighing 2800 pounds.
What a beautiful Monument!
The Chapter #53 Veterans of the Battle of the Bulge (VBOB) are very proud of this monument,
so I decided to have a gallery of it's own to have it noticed and picture proudly displayed!
It can also be viewed under the gallery titled:
"87th Infantry Division" - all monuments, signs, and plaques that Honor or Recognize this division/units - especially Battle Of The Bulge" - Page 2.
This Battle of the Bulge Monument is located at:
Presidio Park facing the City Hall and Federal Bldg in Tucson, Arizona.
Southern Arizona Chapter #53 VBOB dedicated this monument on
May 30 2003.
Chapter President John Westover headed up the project.
National President Lou Cunningham oversaw the dedication.
Per Mr. George W. McGee;
President, Chapter 53 VBOB - Southern Arizona:
"A lot of work went into the project,
and we give so much thanks to the chapter president at that time, John Westover, for all the work he did.
Mr. Westover designed the original sketch, and then had an artist finish it.
The monument was built in Tucson.
The monument was funded entirely by donations by members of Chapter 53,
of which there were approximately 65 members at that time.
We have presently about 50 members."
Mr. Westover passed away in June of 2005.
Mr. George W. McGee was nominated and elected to the office soon after.
Last year, Mr. McGee had photos of the front and back enlarged to poster size.
He then made a plywood replica about four feet high that will now be included in their
Veterans Day parade each year.
They had it mounted in an open army trailer behind a 1943 Jeep that had been restored by one of their members.
They are proud that they received the,
"MOST OUTSTANDING VETERANS AWARD" in last November's parade out of 400 entries!
I would like to invite any members out there to have their picture taken with the monument - and I would add them to this indiviual gallery!
Anyone else also invited to do so, along with why the monument is special to you.
And as always, any comments or general thoughts are always welcome to this site for all to read..
