County Reveals Concept of December 2, 2015 Memorial
During a private memorial service with families and survivors marking the fifth anniversary of the December 2, 2015 terrorists attack on the Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino, the county’s Board of Supervisors revealed concept renderings of a permanent memorial to the 14 people who were killed, those who survived, and the first responders who put themselves in harm’s way on that day. World renowned landscape architect and artist Walter Hood, selected by the December 2 Memorial Committee to design and construct the memorial, will work closely with the families and survivors to finalize the details of the project. The construction and completion of the memorial will be developed and announced as Hood’s work with families and survivors comes more into focus. Board of Supervisors Vice Chair Josie Gonzales chairs the Memorial Committee made up of family members of the deceased, survivors of the attack, first responders, and key members of county staff.
