The event showcased a special proclamation written by Tribal Council which thanked all veterans for their service and sacrifice. A special exhibit was also featured in the Hall of Warriors showcasing items from the Southern Ute Museum along with photographs, banners and a video. Refreshments were served and gifts were given to all veterans who attended. The temporary exhibit will remain open through the month of November.
