Memorial Day

Memorial Day is Monday May 25, 2015 and there are plenty of opportunities to honor those who have made this country a place of freedom and choice. One opportunity is in Windsor, Colorado with the American Legion.

The Veteran's Plaza Memorial Day Weekend Event is dedicated to all who have served since 9/11. See the complete schedule.

Besties alert!

There are a number of Memorial Day Events in Northern Colorado. These are the big ones.

This Saturday, May 25th at 11:30 the Traveling Vietnam Wall ceremony will happen in Fort Collins. 58,000 names will be read aloud at the Veterans Plaza of Northern Colorado which is located just east of the dog park at Spring Canyon Park in West Fort Collins off of Horsetooth Road.

I just saw that the Larimer Sheriff tweeted, "DUI saturation patrols begin tonight as well as on-going extra patrols for seat belt enforcement. Don't drink & drive & buckle up." A good reminder for us all to be safe on the roads this Memorial Day weekend.

Monday is memorial day when we pay tribute to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for this country. It is also a day we need to thank and recognize those who serve and have served and pay tribute to them while they are here with us. Fly your flag, love your country, take advantage and hold dear what these heroes gave their lives for. Read more from some of the Memorial Day events happeni
