On May 30, 2000, Rick Crandall broadcast his morning radio show from the American Cemetery above Omaha Beach in Normandy, France. Afterwards, Rick took one last walk through the cemetery not realizing he would be carrying something home with him and it was something he couldn’t shake.For the last 25 years the Colorado Freedom Memorial and Rick Crandall have been synonymous. What started as an idea after a radio broadcast from France has become one of the most unique military memorials in the country, and it’s about to get bigger!
The Colorado Freedom Memorial is is the first memorial in America dedicated to ALL wars, ALL branches of service and containing the names of all those who died from a single state.
For 30 years, Rick Crandall was the host of the Breakfast Club on AM 1430, KEZW and during that time built a close relationship with the veteran community. In 2012, he was named the Colorado Broadcaster of the Year for his work on the air and with numerous nonprofit organizations. It is the Colorado Freedom Memorial, though, that is closest to his heart.
Event is open to the public. Highlands Ranch Historical Society Members are free. $5 Minimum donation for all others.
