A Work in Progress…
Mora County had the largest military population per capita in the US during the Vietnam War.
2024 Veterans’ Resource Fair & Flag Retirement
At one time the largest number of military members per capita in the US was from Mora County. The impact of those who sacrificed all has affected families here through generations. The committee has been involved with Veterans’ Day activities at the school, offering classroom interaction, participating in the Veterans’ parade, teaching flag etiquette at summer camp and starting an annual flag retirement ceremony (The first annual is featured below.)
The Mora County Veterans’ Memorial Committee is requesting your input regarding the names of casualties of war and or prisoners of war that are not included on the following list. Names may need correct spelling.
Please submit your comments/input by phone or email to: MoraVeteransMemorial@gmail.com or Larry Garcia – 720-278-0090, or administrative assistant to Mora County Manager at: scasados@countyofmora.com
