West Jordan's Sister City Monument - West Jordan, Utah USA - Sister City Monuments on Waymarking.com

On June 13, 1998, a U.S. Army general joined a Russian Army general to unveil a memorial to Votkinsk, Russia, West Jordan's sister City. The memorial is located in the north-west corner of West Jordan Veterans Memorial Park, 7800 S. 2200 West.

The ceremony was held to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Intermediate Nuclear Forces treaty, a missile reduction program. Participants were Brig. Gen. John C. Reppert and Gen. Lt. Vyacheslav A. Romanov of the Russian republic of Urdmurtia. The two also planted a Siberian pear tree as part of the ceremony. The monument dedication was suggested by a Russian inspection team commander as a symbol of friendship and peace between the United States and the Russian republics that signed the reduction treaty. The memorial honors the Russian Federation missile inspection team, working in West Jordan.
