Additional commentary.
1. Warrior Memorial
This memorial is no longer here. I asked everyone I could think of, the Mayor, the historical society and others, about what happened to it to no avail. I made a long trip to add it to my Vietnam Veterans blog (ameanstoheal.org) only to make this sad discovery.

Editor: Thank you for your note about the missing Veterans Memorial in Bisbee, Arizona. That is indeed unfortunate that you were not able to see it. It appears that it was moved sometime between 2010 and 2014 to the Bisbee Police Department, north of town on the right on Highway 92, near a large traffic circle with Junction Avenue across the street. Its new coordinates are 31.427364, -109.893101.

Thank you for the information and we will update our entry on the memorial and look for new photos from other correspondents.
