The original Veterans Day commemorated the end of the first World War. When President Dwight D. Eisenhower proclaimed it a national holiday, he also called on Americans everywhere to rededicate themselves to the cause of peace. There are nearly 20 million vets living in the U.S. today, from every walk of life, and this day is set aside to “honor America’s veterans for their patriotism, love of country and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good.”
Three miles west of I-25 at exit 232 (Erie Parkway). Just 20 minutes from downtown Boulder and 25 minutes from downtown Denver.
