Traveling exhibit honors World War I heroes

From Colorado.com: Traveling exhibit honors World War I heroes
addell & Reed's "Honoring Our History" Traveling World War I Exhibition will roll into Fort Collins for its 10th stop on a national 75-city tour from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday at the CSU campus.

During this one-day event, admission to tour the World War I Exhibition is free. The event will be at the corner of College Avenue and Lake Street in Lot 575, across from the University Center for the Arts (and near the flower gardens).

The "Honoring Our History" Tour honors WWI veterans - and all veterans since - while raising awareness and funds for cultural institutions across country during tight economic times. Admission is free to tour the exhibit, but donations are appreciated. All donations collected Tuesday will be divided between Colorado State University and the National World War I Museum. More info about the 75-city tour is available at www.honoringourhistory.com.

Waddell and Reed is a mutual fund company whose two founders, Chauncey Waddell and Cameron Reed, were WWI veterans.

After touring the exhibition, kiosks will allow the public to make donations to support both the CSU Alumni Association and the National World War I Museum - the first and only WWI museum designated by U.S. Congress.
