The Colorado Freedom Memorial will be constructed of glass that will reflect Colorado's mountains and blue skies. It will be approximately 14-feet tall and 100-feet wide. Each of the names of the over 6,000 Coloradans killed or missing in action will be etched in the glass panels dedicated to the specific war in which they fought. In the case of the MIA’s, their names will be etched in a special panel of glass. Each entry will contain the individual's name and hometown.

As the visitor looks at the glass, it will reflect back his/her own image so that the visitor actually becomes a part of the memorial. The height of the glass and the reflected surroundings will seem to loom over the visitor and then fade away—all symbolic of service men and women falling in action.

The wars represented in this stunning monument are all separated from Colorado by water. To maintain that division, a stream of water moves along the walking path between the visitor and the memorial wall. Marble markers like those found in military cemeteries around the world will be located behind the glass. The memorial will be located on a two-acre parcel near Buckley Air Force Base in a new park being built by the City of Aurora. Aurora has contributed a generous lease for the land as their support for the project.
