A youth and service group in Colorado is working to revitalize an abandoned 9/11 memorial in Pueblo West. The recent efforts of the Pueblo Young Marines are the subject of an article and accompanying video published on KOAA-TV, a southern Colorado news station.
The group found a tattered flag and a site covered in trash upon arriving at the Liberty Point Memorial, which was dedicated in 2002 by a Pueblo West firefighter to honor 9/11 victims. On top of cleaning the site and attaining a new flag, they are also going to regularly check on and maintain the memorial.
"It's nice to take on the duty of keeping it clean and showing that people actually remember," Pueblo Young Marines Platoon Sergeant Juanita Gallegos told KOAA-TV.
