A time for honor They've done it! The Montrose Veterans Coalition kept at it for years and have now successfully completed the longed for Montrose Veterans Memorial. It opens officially on Veterans Day, Wednesday, just behind the Montrose Pavilion, adjacent to the Botanic Gardens. You can't miss the spot — it will be the one with the mounted, static Huey helicopter. And the beautifully positioned monuments. And, no doubt, the crowds.  The City of Montrose and Montrose County are hosting an official ribbon-cutting for the memorial at 10 a.m. Wednesday, then there will be a formal Veterans Day ceremony at the newly opened site. Few locations could be more appropriate. I hope you will come out to see this feat — and show your respect to those who served or who serve still. Not to be outdone, the Montrose County School District will help its students honor the day. Here are some of the highlights: Wednesday, Nov. 11 9 a.m. | Olathe Middle/High School: Veterans Day ceremony featuring student musical performances, the presentation of colors, a POW/MIA remembrance and the playing of Taps. A reception for veterans will follow in the school library. 1:30 p.m. | Johnson Elementary School: Veterans Welcome Walk through the school's west hallway, followed by third-grade musical performances and refreshments. Veterans and guests are asked to register in advance by calling 970-249-2584. 2:15 p.m. | Columbine Middle School: Veterans Day assembly featuring keynote speaker Jeff Mengenhausen and Delta County Quilts of Valor presentations honoring three staff members. Doors open at 1:45 p.m. in the school gymnasium.  Tuesday, Nov. 17 6 p.m. | Pomona Elementary School: Assembly featuring a Veterans Day musical tribute by second-grade students.  One more thing: Welcome Home Alliance for Veterans hosted its annual Blue Jean Ball over the weekend, this year, honoring the memory of Mike Trickey, veteran, former director, driving force behind the Veterans Memorial, and all around good man.  Happy Monday to all, and please — attend one of the ceremonies for Veterans Day if you can. — Katharhynn, from the Newsroom.
