Mission Statement

The Colorado Freedom Memorial will be the first Monument in America to honor veterans of all wars, by name, in one place. Regardless of one's rank; one's branch of service; or one's generation of conflict, giving your life for your country is the highest price to be paid.

"...we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain..."
President Abraham Lincoln - Gettysburg Address
Colorado Freedom Memorial Mission Statement
  • To create in glass and stone a memorial that honors the Coloradans who left to fight for freedom and never returned...
  • To create with nature a place of beauty and reverence where family and comrades can find peace in the memory of lost loved ones...
  • To create in all who see this monument an understanding of the magnitude of loss we all share in the name of freedom.
