The Center for American Values, Inc. is a non-political organization formed in 2010 for charitable and educational purposes. The Center’s founders identified the need for a national initiative to recognize and preserve the values our great country was founded on. Visitors can tour the Center and learn more about the facility’s state of the art meeting space and educational programs. This event will mark the first public showing of the Portraits of Valor display, a photographic collection of over 140 Medal of Honor recipients. The portraits include the four Medal of Honor recipients from Pueblo. The visionary and co-founder for the Center for American Values is Medal of Honor recipient Drew Dix whose hometown is Pueblo. It was Dix’s deep commitment to America that became the Center’s mission. The mission stems from his personal desire for all generations to understand and never lose sight of the countless sacrifices made.
