We, the Colorado Traveling Ducks, and our humans wish you all a happy Memorial Day. In 1967 Memorial Day became a Federal Holiday, celebrated the last Monday in May.
We thank all who serve to defend and enhance our freedoms, and we honor all of those that gave their lives for our freedom and our way of life.

Thank you American heroes.

We drove to Fort Logan National Cemetery in south Denver. This federal cemetery is 214 acres of white headstones and was opened in the late 1800s.

Volunteers placed American flags at all graves. There are more than 100,000 small American flags there today. The roads leading into the cemetery are marked with larger American flags.
