We’d like to pay tribute to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country with a Memorial Day weekend photo essay. These images were taken at Wesley Bolin Memorial Plaza in Phoenix, Arizona during the Phoenix Tax Day Tea Party on April 15th, 2009. Wesley Bolin Plaza is located in front of the Arizona State Capitol, and there are 23 memorials paying tribute to our lost soldiers. The memorials are dedicated to various conflicts, including World War I & II, the Korean War, Vietnam War and Desert Storm (The Gulf War).
