The numbers are staggering.  Over 16 million Americans served in the military during WWII and over 450,000 were killed in action.  Colorado lost some 3500 of its sons and daughters as the "Greatest Generation"  put on uniforms, left home and defended freedom around the world.  They were called to places they could never find on a map.  Guadalcanal, Bastogne, Anzio, Tarawa and Normandy just to name a few.  Today, on the eve of the 65th anniversary of the end of WWII, there are 2 million WWII veterans alive to tell the story.  Time is doing what the enemy couldn't, taking our WWII Patriots from us.

KEZW is dedicating the next year to honoring WWII veterans.  On this page you'll see a clock counting down to the 65th anniversary of the end of the war, September 2, 2010.  Every weekday on the Breakfast Club, at 8:15a, we'll share "This Day in 1944", news from the war 65 years ago that day.  We'll also introduce our Studio Patriot of the Day, a WWII veteran, living or deceased, who's story of service has been shared by their proud family.  Over 200 veterans will be recognized between November 2nd 2009 and September 2, 2010.  We'll also be hosting events throughout the year honoring the heroes of WWII.  It's our way of sharing one last, memorable salute while many who lived through it are around to appreciate it.

Studio 1430 would like to thank all veterans for their service, and hopes you'll join us in paying special tribute to the men and women of WWII, both the homefront warriors and those that served overseas.  The world changed forever on December 7, 1941 and we say thanks to those who sacrificed so much to make sure Freedom stood strong.
