class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">High school student Maria Carlson had big shoes to fill playing taps for the annual Memorial Day ceremony at Rosebud Cemetery in Glenwood Springs Monday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">For many years, that honor was given to longtime Glenwood resident Norman Gould, who died this past December at the age of 81.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Gould was one of two people paid special remembrance by organizer and American Legion member Dan LeVan for their past contributions. The other was Lyle Beattie, who also died this past year and had been a guest speaker at the Memorial Day ceremony on two occasions, LeVan noted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cIt was a great honor that they asked me to play taps, because it\u2019s something so special and so important to so many people on this day,\u201d Carlson said following Monday\u2019s ceremonial honors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cIt\u2019s a day of remembrance and honor for those who gave their lives and who still serve,\u201d she said. \u201cIt was great to be here, and maybe I\u2019ll be asked back next year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Fellow Glenwood Springs High School student and Air Force Jr. ROTC member Mason Pardo was part of the rifle corps that gave the 21-gun salute to the fallen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cTo me, it means we take our time to give what we can back to the soldiers who have fought and those who have fallen,\u201d Pardo said of what the day meant to him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cWe\u2019re out here giving our best to the community, and trying to make the community better. It\u2019s one of the core values of our unit,\u201d said Pardo, who said he plans to join either the Air Force or Army after he graduates next year and specialize as a technician or medic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">More than 300 people, including community members, the local Boy Scout Troop 225 and members of the Memorial Day Riders attended the Glenwood Springs ceremony.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The Colorado motorcycle group made up of veterans also goes by the name, \u201cRolling Thunder,\u201d and didn\u2019t disappoint when it came time to line up in formation and roll out of the cemetery with a roar to conclude the event.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">LeVan gave the Memorial Day address, reading a pair of poems by Jamie Burns and C.W. Johnson and thanking the more than 150 people who volunteer Friday to place American flags on the graves of soldiers at the Glenwood cemetery.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">He also acknowledged the youth movement that participated, and thanks school teachers, the local Boy Scouts and other organizations for spreading the word about the need for volunteers to pull off the event.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">In Carbondale, the American Legion Post 100 also held its annual Memorial Day procession, making stops at the town\u2019s two cemeteries for a 21-gun salute and playing of taps, before concluding at the Veterans Memorial Bridge on Highway 133 at the entrance to Carbondale.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">There, the group tossed the ceremonial wreath into the Roaring Fork River and gave a final gun salute.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cIt\u2019s a day to remember our fallen brothers and sisters, and pay tribute to the sacrifice they paid for us,\u201d said Chris Potvin, a member of the Carbondale rifle corps.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Another longtime member of the rifle corps, Steve Alberico of Carbondale, said he lost several friends in battle in Vietnam.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cI had two men in my unit who were both killed right next to me,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Also among those lost during that era was Mike Gonzalez of Glenwood Springs, who Alberico said he remembers every year along with the others.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cMemorial day means an awful lot to me, and I try to go to any of the school activities, and to be part of this event every year,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Tagline\"><a href=\"mailto:jstroud@postindependent.com\">jstroud@postindependent.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A woman and child embrace during the 2019 Memorial Day ceremony held at Rosebud Cemetery in Glenwood Springs on Monday.Chelsea Self \/ Post Independent A member of the audience lowers his head during the Benediction near the closing of the 2019 Memorial Day ceremony held at Rosebud Cemetery in Glenwood Springs on Monday.Chelsea Self \/ [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":15493,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[56],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-15492","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-local-news"},"acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-06-12 01:41:38","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"distributor_meta":false,"distributor_terms":false,"distributor_media":false,"distributor_original_site_name":"KRKY Ski Country","distributor_original_site_url":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/krky","push-errors":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/krky\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15492","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/krky\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/krky\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/krky\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/krky\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15492"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/krky\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15492\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15500,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/krky\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15492\/revisions\/15500"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/krky\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15493"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/krky\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15492"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/krky\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15492"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/krky\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15492"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
