    Sedona Heritage Museum to Host Veterans Day Tribute

    logo_sedonamuseum2Sedona AZ (October 31, 2019) – The Sedona Heritage Museum’s annual Veterans Day tribute will be on Monday, November 11 beginning at 11:00 a.m. at the Museum. 

    All veterans of all U.S. service branches, active military, family and friends, and residents who want to show their appreciation to those who have served, and are now serving, are invited to be guests of the Museum at Sedona’s annual memorial and program of appreciation.

    This year’s program will pay special tribute to women in the military. Emcee Shondra Jepperson with assistance from Tom Jepperson, will provide music along with the Dynamite Divas who will present music from American wars since WWI.

    To further the focus on women in the service, a maquette size version of Sedona sculptor James Muir’s “Athena’s Prayer” will be on display.  An allegorical art piece with reference to the classical goddess of War and Wisdom, a female warrior is shown protecting her heart with her helmet and looking heavenward. It is a tribute to all the women who have served in America’s Armed Forces, symbolizing the feminine “prudence” to war. 

    The program will continue with dignitaries including Mayor Sandy Moriarty, Coconino County Supervisor Matt Ryan and Yavapai County Supervisor Randy Garrison. The Sedona Oak Creek DAR chapter will provide the parade of flags at the Museum entrance.

    Sedona’s last living WWII veteran, Fred Piper, will be on hand to meet and greet guests and tell stories. There will be a display honoring Sedona’s WWII soldiers and a small exhibit of more recent military uniforms, including that of a 3-star general.

    Additionally, members from several organizations that provide services to veterans will be on hand to answer questions and distribute information, including the Vietnam Veterans of America (claims assistance, advocacy, basic health/clothing/transportation, etc.), the Mental Health Coalition, MATForce (addiction and recovery programs), Habitat for Humanity’s “Veterans Build program, and the Sedona Food Bank. 

    The program will be held in the Museum’s historic fruit packing shed, which is heated. Lunch will be served after the program with food by The Golden Goose.  

    Shuttle service will be provided from nearby parking lots, watch for signs.

    The Sedona Heritage Museum’s annual tribute to American veterans has become a community tradition.

    What Would I Change?
    By Amaya Gayle Gregory

    What would I change if I could? You and I both know I can’t, but it’s a fun exercise anyway. I would have been less of a know-it-all on my spiritual journey. It seems to be a side-effect of the path. Spiritual folks develop an all-knowing buffer to protect against their inevitable surrender to the unknown, but understanding that now didn’t make it gentler on me or those I loved, let alone those that I deemed not capable of getting it 😉 Yeah … I’d have dropped the spiritual snob act. I’d have recognized that spiritual radicals are only different on the outside from radical right Christians, and that the surface doesn’t really matter as much as I thought. We are all doing our couldn’t be otherwise things, playing our perfect roles. I’d have learned to bow down humbly before my fellow man, regardless of whether I agreed with him or not. We’re all in this together and not one of us will get out alive. Read more→
