Overview

The Air Medical Memorial will be a 5,000 square foot outdoor plaza with a semicircular granite wall on one side. This granite wall will list the full names of honorees organized by date of loss and last name. Honoree names will be added as necessary in an annual ceremony that will take place in June of each year.

At the center of the plaza, there will be a pedestal and bronze sculpture. The sculpture will feature three life-size figures representing a typical flight crew. This sculpture will include equipment, flight suits and uniform details specific to air medical/EMS operations. At the front of the pedestal there will be an inscription dedicated to honorees, survivors, and those who continue to serve.

The outdoor memorial will be located at the center of the Air Medical Memorial Park. The group has received a donation of 6 acres of open space near Denver, Colorado for the project. The group is actively fundraising with an overall goal of $600,000.
