MEMORIAL DAY READING OF NAMES

Broadmoor Community Church - 313 Lake Avenue - will be reading the names of the 4,298 U.S. Military Personnel who died in the War In Iraq, the 254 U.S. Military Personnel from Fort Carson, and 679 U.S. Military Personnel who died in Operation Enduring Freedom. The list began Sunday night at 7:00 p.m. and the final names will be read shortly before 1:00 p.m. Monday. After the last name is read by Dr. James Chapman 21 bells will be rung and the 21 candles will be extinguished. I read man of the names overnight and guarantee that just listening to them is a very, very moving experience.

Also, i will be at the KVOR booth at territory days from 1:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m. Please stop by to say hello. We're located near 25th & Colorado.

And finally... God bless America, and God bless those who have served and sacrificed for this country and our freedoms. Job well done.

Richard
