Review & FAQ:

The Colorado Freedom Memorial is the very first memorial in the United States that is dedicated to Coloradans who have lost their lives in any and all branches of service and in all wars. The glass and granite structure is 12 feet high and spans 95 feet across.

The glass panels are placed in a manner which reflects the blue skies and towering mountains which surround it.

The memorial holds the names of over 6,000 people who were killed or missing in action. You can see the names grouped by war but not in alphabetical order - a reflection of the true chaos of war.
