In addition, MCAS’ “big blue wall” location was increasingly Navy League of the US undesirable due to its blocking the view of the gate from within the air station. The question was what to do - demolish or fix? Sometimes, taking the more difficult path leads to greater success. With the US MERCHANTbacking MARINERS our & THEIRboard FAMILIES of SINCEdirectors, 1963 an initial design for a new ceremonial site was presented to then MCAS Yuma’s Commanding Officer, Colonel Suggs, in 2019. The concept was to include a new 80’ flag pole, larger concrete apron for ceremonies, and a 17 foot tall Iwo Jima silhouette; now funded for 2021. SERVING OUR Community's MARINES, SAILORS, COASTGUARDSMEN, Estimated to be completed this year, MCAS Yuma’s existing main gate “blue wall” will be removed and the memorial relocated east of MCAS’ HQ.
