DENVER, Colorado – Memorial Day is an opportunity to honor those who have served and sacrificed for their country. In Colorado, there are many ways to commemorate this important holiday.
One of the most popular ways to pay tribute to our veterans is to visit the Vietnam Veterans Wall. This wall is a replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, DC and will be on display at Veterans Plaza in Fort Collins from May 25-29.
