In true Colorado fashion, most of those pictures were taken outdoors.
At 2 p.m. today in the Aurora Municipal Center, there will be a ceremony celebrating the soldiers. All military families are invited, and "Colorado is a very patriotic state," Williams notes; the family members will be designated by a button, since the public is also welcome. The photos will also be available for viewing from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday, October 24 through Friday, October 28 at the facility at 15151 East Alameda Avenue. Omaha-based Williams wanted the display to be apolitical. "That they'll be remembered," is all he wants, he says. His personal connection to the project is just getting to interact with a lot of families who have lost members in Iraq and Afghanistan. Colorado is one of five states where the exhibit will be shown; each version is personalized for the state.
