Maj. Gen. Maurice Rose’s men loved him so dearly, they raised funds, along with local Jewish leaders, to build a hospital The General Rose Memorial Hospital, now known as Rose Medical Center to honor the general who gave his life on the battlefield.
A dedication and ribbon-cutting ceremony was held for the new Major General Maurice Rose Monument erected in the Lincoln Veterans Memorial Park near the Colorado State Capitol. Rose is the most decorated battle tank commander in American history and the highest ranking Jewish soldier in World War II.
