Honor veterans at the annual Highlands Ranch Veterans Day Celebration, 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 11 at the Douglas County Libraries at Highlands Ranch, 9292 S. Ridgeline Blvd.
This annual celebration includes patriotic music from the Highlands Ranch Concert Band and a color guard. The guest speaker will be Colorado veteran and historian Flint Whitlock.
Whitlock is an award-winning Denver military historian with 17 books to his credit. He lectures on history topics aboard Viking Cruise Line ships, leads battlefield tours for the Smithsonian, is the former editor of WWII Quarterly magazine, is in charge of exhibits at the Broomfield Veterans Museum, and in 2021 was inducted into the Colorado Authors Hall of Fame.
Guests are encouraged to arrive early and visit the Highlands Ranch Veterans Monument, located outside of the library, prior to the event. A focal point of the monument is a special tribute memorial to three very special hometown heroes whose names are etched in stone: Staff Sergeant Christopher Falkel, Sergeant Jon Stiles and Corporal Max Donahue.
