Fort Carson Veterans Memorial Gazebo
Colorado Springs, CO, June 04, 2011 --(PR.com)-- The Colorado Association of Mechanical and Plumbing Contractors (CAMPC), in conjunction with the skilled tradesmen and women of the Rocky Mountain Pipe Trades District Council 5 and many generous companies and associations, are giving back to the community through the building of the Fort Carson Veterans Memorial Gazebo at Iron Horse Park. This one of a kind gazebo is an example of the many ways they illustrate their appreciation for our brave veterans, soldiers and their families for their dedication to the service of our country. The gazebo - 36 feet wide and 12 sided - will be the largest on any U.S. Army base in the country and will be used for welcome home activities, concerts, etc. for veterans, soldiers and their families.
