The Colorado Freedom Memorial (CFM) presents the 7th Annual “Light Their Way Home” luminaria display on the grounds of the Colorado Freedom Memorial, November 10-12, from 5-8 p.m. each evening. There will be 6218 glass luminarias on display, one for each Colorado veteran killed in action since our statehood in 1876. In addition to the luminarias this year, the CFM is bringing back the presentation of a 16-minute video, which will be projected onto the entire 40-by-200-foot wall of the warehouse building located just to the east of the CFM.
On Thursday, Nov. 10 at 4:30 p.m., a short ceremony will open the event and feature remarks from Colorado Lt. Gov. Dianne Primavera, Rep. Jason Crow, Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman and Arapahoe County Commissioner, Jeff Baker.
“With financial support from Amazon, Visit Aurora and the National Association of Counties Operation Green Light Project, we are proud to bring the Colorado Freedom Memorial Luminaria display and Video project to the Light Their Way Home event again this year,” said CFM Executive Director, Rick Crandall. “The video shows scenes of the conflicts our veterans have served in and the faces of some who gave all. We continue to look for new ways to honor our fallen and this video, crafted by Image AV, is a breathtaking example of our mission coming to life.”
The Colorado Freedom Memorial has opportunities for members of the community to be involved with the lighting of the luminarias each night by volunteering for shifts to turn the lights on and off. Visit www.ColoradoFreedom
