Veterans Day

While it should come as no big surprise, we can officially put a parade cancellation on the list of events that are not happening in Grand Junction this fall.

All military members, veterans, and National Guard members get free admission into all Colorado State Parks in August.

Look at this picture from 1917 of the Mesa County inductees for World War I.

This Saturday and Sunday you can enjoy access to the Colorado National Monument for the low, low price of FREE. In honor of Veterans Day, admission fees have been waived for the day.

Grand Junction is gearing up for this weekend's Veterans Day Parade on Main Street. What did a local parade look like 60 years ago? You'll be surprised how little they've changed. Take a look at downtown photos of past parades from the 1950's, 60's, and 70's.

Grand Junction singer, songwriter, and documentary producer Larry Cappetto wrote a song saluting US military that is amazingly touching, especially on Memorial Day.

It's hard for me to get through Veteran's Day without thinking of my dad, Bob Holliday. He was a World War II veteran and was a hero, at least to me.

Veterans Day is a holiday to honor those that have served in the U.S. Armed Forces and it means most city, county, state, and federal offices are closed.

I can't think of a better place to celebrate Veteran's Day than Colorado National Monument. This Wednesday, November 11, you can do that for free. The National Park Service has announced this Wednesday is a fee-free day.

Grand Junction filmmaker Larry Cappetto combined his video clips from Western Slope Honor Flights along with photos and other footage he's shot to create a stirring tribute to our nation's veterans.
