The community of Casa Grande came together in solemn celebration on May 24 for the dedication of the Pinal County Veterans Memorial, a new landmark honoring local military personnel who have laid down their lives in service to the nation. The memorial, which has been a collaborative endeavor, stands as a symbol of remembrance for the ultimate sacrifice made by men and women from the area.
