I’m always amazed at how our country used to do monuments to our servicemen/women all the time, then just started to stop celebrating public service.

Keep at it! You do us all proud!

I ran numbers and the combined attendence, for all four sports, in their last completed season was 4.575 million people. Maybe if the teams won’t directly donate they would let you set up a the games. Perhaps they could include some sort of way to donate as people renew their season tickets. What’s another $1 to $25 when you are spending $500 to $1000 a seat for season tickets?

I noticed a Kansas State University grad designed the memorial. That’s where I live. I know Universities have been hit hard by budget cuts but I wonder if an Alumni Association would get behind a graduates project like this? As of 2008-2009 there are about 190,000 Alumini members. Over 7300 live in Colorado. Perhaps an article in the alumni magazine could spark interest? Just an idea.

You honestly don’t need to donate any money, although that is an amazing gesture! Even just spreading the word is enough, and helping us gain momentum to find a way to get this done.

It’s pretty amazing to me, too, that once of the local teams haven’t stepped up yet to support this project. I would have thought the Broncos would have been thrilled to be involved and get some major PR. Even just donating a little would help, but I am still working on it. I’m sure the Broncos/Avs/Rox/Nuggets PR folks are really tired of my emails by now…haha

It’s a shame there isn’t something like this being made in EVERY state.

I find it interesting that Colorado can’t seem to raise the money to get this off of the ground even in this economy. That’s pocket change for the collective rosters of the Denver Nuggets, Denver Broncos, Colorado Rockies and Colorado Avalanche. Maybe they need to step up and truly honor these service men and women. They do their moments of silence and applause for the troops but couldn’t they do more?

I absolutely love Colorado and Denver itself so I will definately do something. I’m going on vacation later this month and never really spend as much as I save for it, so I will get something together for early July. It won’t be a ton, but every little bit will probably help.

Best of luck to the CFM. It will be a very impressive monument!
