One of the most daunting, yet important, tasks in establishing the Colorado Freedom Memorial is to create a proper accounting of all Colorado service members who made the supreme sacrifice on behalf of their country. Over the years names have been lost to poor record-keeping, a fire at the National Records Center in St Louis and not being reported to begin with. The names of these heroes will not only be etched into glass on the Colorado Freedom Memorial, but will be included in this database, which will become an invaluable resource for historians, researchers, and the families and loved ones of our fallen Coloradans.

We are providing online access to this database in order that you may learn more about the thousands of Colorado heroes who have lost their life in service to their country. We invite you to participate in this ongoing project by collecting information about any Coloradans you may know of—in any war or military action, and any branch of the armed forces—who made the ultimate sacrifice, and submit that information for inclusion in this database.

One note. You will notice as you browse this list that we have not placed many of the names from WWI in the database at this time. That's actually our current research project and we will be updating that list monthly. If you have a name from WWI to submit, please do so. As you can well imagine it's getting harder to find information on those killed in action years ago as we're now generations removed from them. Any info you can provide is most helpful.

Throughout this website you will see the names and home towns of random honorees displayed over the flags of the United States and Colorado on the left side of the page. Take a moment to:
