We were honored to attend the Veterans Wall Rededication Ceremony at Centennial High School — a beautiful tribute to the veterans and proud alumni who have served our nation. Our very own Medal of Honor Recipient and CAV Co-Founder, Drew Dix, addressed the students in the gymnasium, sharing an inspiring message about service, character, and giving back to others. As a proud graduate of Centennial High School himself, Drew’s words carried special meaning — reminding everyone that true leadership begins with serving others. Thank you to Centennial High School for ensuring the legacy of service and sacrifice continues to inspire future generations.
We were honored to host the Medal of Honor Foundation as they presented a powerful Medal of Honor Character Development Program workshop to nearly 40 middle and high school educators.
Educators who took part in this training gained resources that bring stories of courage, commitment, sacrifice, integrity, citizenship, and patriotism into the classroom.
We were grateful to have Medal of Honor Recipient and CAV Cofounder, Drew Dix, share his words with the group, along with impactful presentations from Jason Robbins and Lauren Hallgring of the MOH Foundation.
This program is designed to inspire students through the real-life examples of Medal of Honor Recipients and citizen heroes—equipping the next generation to lead with character and create positive change in their own communities.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all who joined us today on the Pueblo Riverwalk for our 9/11 Remembrance Ceremony. Your presence, whether in person or through our livestream, helped us honor the memory of those we lost and the sacrifices made on this day 24 years ago. We are especially thankful to the students, educators, community members, and first responders who stood with us in remembrance. Together, we ensure that we will Never Forget.
