SIERRA VISTA — On May 30 next year, the sound of patriotic music will be the norm on grounds of the Southern Arizona Veterans’ Memorial Cemetery.
It will be on Memorial Day 2010 when a 40-foot-tall carillon — a bell tower — will be dedicated.
On Wednesday, a short groundbreaking ceremony took place to start the construction phase for the carillon.
Every year, the national headquarters of AMVETS helps fund two carillons to be placed in cemeteries that are dedicated as final resting places for veterans.
