DENVER — In honor of Veterans Day, hundreds of Coloradans will honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country at the annual Veterans Day parade, festival and run.
The events, hosted by the Colorado Veterans Project, started Saturday and continue Sunday.
Veterans Day Parade
The celebration kicked off with the parade on Saturday at 10 a.m. Local veterans organizations and supporters started their march at 14th Street and West Colfax Avenue.
The parade was broken into sections that represented a different conflict in military history, from the Revolutionary War to modern times. Each one featured military memorabilia, like uniforms, vehicles and weapons, from that era.
