Hi Everyone...
What a great way to start the trip!! The show in Colorado Springs this morning was perfect. American Legion Post 5 did a wonderful job for us. They had a little breakfast ready, they invited veterans from town and the Korean War Veterans Association showed up, as did a young lady who served in Iraq and is now studying at the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs. It was great! Thanks to Keith LaMee for his hard work arranging things for us in the Springs. I enjoyed meeting and interviewing Captain Dorman from Fort Carson. Listening to him describe driving past the Memorial at Fort Carson's main gate that has the names of 217 fallen soldiers from the post killed in Iraq was moving. Then to hear Mike Morse's song he wrote the day the family received word his son-in-law had died in Iraq made us all tear up. Real people, touched by the heroics of Colorado's incredible servicemen and women.
