  • Monument memorializes 'courage, loyalty, sacrifice'

    Citing the courage, loyalty and sacrifice of the members of the Mormon Battalion, President Gordon B. Hinckley dedicated a monument in their honor Saturday, Dec. 14 in downtown Tucson.
    "It is a very significant thing which you have done here," President Hinckley said, speaking to between 2,000-3,000 people gathered in the El Presidio Park for the dedication. "Tucson was one of
    the Mormon Battalion'sT very important stops. The erection of this monument becomes a memorial to their courage, to their valor and their confidence in their leader, to their absolutely dogged marching, marching, marching ever westward, to build a road to California."
