Tomorrow morning, most of the central downtown roads will be closed for Captain Larry Taylor's "Welcome Home" Parade. CDOT strongly encourages planning additional time before & after the parade while visiting; traffic unrelated to the parade, please utilize alternative routes.

#DidYouKnow that the first #MedalofHonor G.I. Joe action figure was modeled after @USArmy TSgt. Francis Currey? In December 1944, Currey was a one-man onslaught in the face of a German tank advance; he rescued 5 comrades. 👀 #MedalofHonorMonday story: bit.ly/3D7IF1w

#MedalofHonorMonday: Sgt. Gary Michael Rose was awarded the #MedalofHonor for his heroism during the #VietnamWar. While deep in enemy territory, he ran under fire to wounded soldiers, ignoring his own injuries to tend to others and move them to safety.
