Colorado Army vets honor Civil War, WWII dead and a Buffalo Solider Bradford Betz
Army veterans and their families gathered at Colorado Springs’ Evergreen Cemetery this Memorial Day to pay tribute to fallen soldiers.
At the cemetery are buried soldiers from the Civil War to World War II, and a lone Buffalo Soldier, George Mason.
One of the attendees on Monday was Brandon Wheeler, an Iraq War veteran and member of Living History Colorado, a group dedicated to preserving the memory of the United States Armed Forces. One of the worst things that could ever happen after someone goes is to literally forget them, Wheller told KDVR, the Fox-affiliated TV station in Denver. By having a point in time where you are kind of forced to remember, it helps you remember those who are lost, regardless if you knew them or not.
