SCHRIEVER AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Veterans Day recognizes those who have served and continue to serve as part of U.S. military. Throughout the Front Range, appreciation for the positive impact veterans have made can be seen through events such as the

Colorado Springs Veterans Day Parade Nov. 3, which Schriever Airmen and other local community groups participated in. “Veterans have contributed not just in serving in the military, but they are often in the forefront for social changes in America — for example, veterans were among the first to make radical changes in the military, such as desegregation, and push for these actions

in the civilian sector,” said Jim Mesco, 50th Space Wing historian. “They bring their military discipline, work ethic and new perspectives into the civilian workforce.” In recognition of veterans, Congress passed legislation in 1938 to commemorate Nov. 11, the day World War I officially ended, as See Sacrifice page 12
