Bill Summary

25-1013 CONCERNING HONORING COLORADO VETERANS ON THE EIGHTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF THE END OF WORLD WAR II.

AI Summary

This joint resolution honors Colorado veterans of World War II on the 80th anniversary of the war's end, recognizing the significant contributions and sacrifices of the state's service members during the conflict. During the war years of 1941 to 1945, approximately 250,000 Coloradans served, with over 3,500 killed in action, and more than half of those killed never returning home. The resolution specifically highlights the notable achievements of Colorado military units like the 10th Mountain Division, which trained in the Rocky Mountains, and the 157th Infantry Regiment, which spent 511 days in continuous combat and notably liberated the Dachau concentration camp. It also references the Colorado Freedom Memorial in Aurora, dedicated in 2013, which uniquely honors all Colorado veterans killed in action since the Spanish-American War, including the 3,586 World War II fallen service members. The General Assembly formally recognizes the heroic efforts and great sacrifices of World War II veterans from Colorado and across the United States, encouraging support and commemoration of their service on this significant anniversary.
