For decades, Rick Crandall has poured his heart into making sure Colorado's fallen servicemen and women are never forgotten. "My objective was to somehow bring them home," he said. "This memorial is for Coloradans killed in action since we became a state." The Colorado Freedom Memorial was built in Aurora in 2013. It's a special place where visitors can remember and reflect on the more than 6,200 names etched into a glass wall. Yet there's so much more to the names than meets the eye, which is why the Colorado Freedom Memorial Foundation has big plans to expand.
