YESCO FABRICATES AND INSTALLS FIELD OF HONOR FOR THE CITY OF CHANDLER IN CHANDLER, ARIZONA

CHANDLER, ARIZONA (November 2021) – YESCO, the 101-year-old company known for creating, repairing and maintaining internationally recognizable signs, announces the fabrication and installation of the Field Of Honor at Veterans Oasis Park located at 4050 East Chandler Heights Road on the northeast corner of Chandler Heights and Lindsay roads in Chandler, Arizona.

The City of Chandler and YESCO will unveil the Field Of Honor on Veterans Day, Thursday, Nov. 11 at 5 p.m. The project includes a Stars And Stripes level, which was designed to match the exact ratio of the American Flag. The Family Plaza overlook, an elevated plaza, replicates the simplicity of the Arizona State flag overlooking the memorial’s Stars And Stripes level.

FUN FACTS:

Kimley-Horn designed the memorial, which includes six resonant themes: freedom, recognition, reflection, sacrifice, memories and family.
The memorial is approximately two acres.
Composition of the memorial included 121 total RGB LED structures of varying heights to mimic the shape of the flag.
21 LED lighted plinths are submerged entirely below earth, symbolizing a 21-gun salute for soldiers who have not returned from war.

“We are honored to have played a role in bringing this memorial to life,” said Jeff Young, senior vice president, YESCO. “It will provide a tranquil place for reflection on the sacrifices made by our country’s service members for years to come.”

“YESCO was an excellent partner for our Field of Honor Veteran’s Memorial in Chandler, Arizona,” said Mickey Ohland, City of Chandler Community Services Planning Manager. “The design called for illuminated columns and their team was able to execute that vision in a memorable way.”
