Veterans of Foreign Wars Returns to Birthplace in Denver
Veterans of Foreign Wars gathers in Denver for its 37th national encampment, recalling the 1899 founding night in the Colorado state house when John S. Stewart Camp No. 1 formed the group. The event honors early Denver veterans from the First Colorado Infantry and highlights leaders like Irving Hale and Rice Means amid a growing nationwide post network.
