DENVER (CBS4) - Gov. John Hickenlooper recognized members of the military for keeping Colorado and the nation safe on Monday.
Hickenlooper met with a group of 100 veterans and active service members at the state Capitol.
The governor also said they play a major role in Colorado's economy.
"Over $4 billion each year from our military stations goes into our economy, not to mention the thousands of accessory jobs created on those installations," Hickenlooper said.
