May 27-29, 2006 - Field of Honor
A temporary memorial was set up at the Colorado Freedom Memorial site
throughout the Memorial Day weekend. Colorado residents who have a loved one
or friend killed, or missing, in action, or a comrade they served with who
died in action, were invited to come to the makeshift wall on Memorial Day
weekend and tell us about that person.
Over 1000 people came to the site over the four-days we were there. Families
came and parents explained the sacrifice of the men and women on the Memorial
to their children; veterans came, alone, and sat quietly reflecting on their
personal experience; many cried, others never uttered a sound, but it was
important to every single person that came.
