fund-raising activities; 3) monies that are collected by the proponents of a
monument or memorial; 4) grants received for monuments or memorials; and 5)
legislative appropriations. Monies from the Fund are used for the maintenance,
repair, reconditioning or relocation of monuments or memorials and for
supporting mechanical equipment in the governmental mall. All monies in the
Fund are subject to legislative appropriation (A.R.S.
§ 41-1365).
The Memorial is located in the Wesley Bolin Plaza and was approved by the Legislature in 2004 (Laws 2004, Ch. 206).
