"This tragic loss of life is the ultimate reminder of the sacrifice that members of the military make to defend our freedoms. As a community and a country, it's vital that we honor their lives, their bravery and their heroism. It is with a heavy heart that I ask all Coloradans to join with me to keep those who laid down their lives, as well as the loved ones they leave behind, in our thoughts and prayers."
