We are honored to be a military community and invite you to join us in celebrating our veterans. On Saturday, Nov. 9, the Colorado Springs community will gather along Tejon Street for the In Their Honor Veterans Day Parade to salute our veterans and active-duty service members for their dedication to our nation’s freedoms. The Colorado Springs Chamber & EDC, along with our Military Affairs Council, are pleased to join other community partners in sponsoring this event. The parade will start at 11 a.m. and is expected to draw over 1,000 people. Participants will include veterans’ organizations, college and high school ROTC programs, active-duty military from all branches, and community members.

Just like you do preventive maintenance on your car to save money from big repairs later, 2C does the same with our roadways. 2C is a proven program that makes our roads smoother and safer. It saves $21 million annually or nearly $650 million over 30 years. Learn more at https://lnkd.in/g3zPixw4
