The Colorado Freedom Memorial is a memorial located in Aurora, Colorado, dedicated to honoring the Colorado residents who lost their lives while serving in the United States military. It was officially dedicated on May 26, 2013, and features the names of over 6,000 Colorado veterans who were killed or missing in action dating back to the Spanish-American War.

The memorial was designed by Kristoffer Kenton, a Colorado resident who served in the United States Marine Corps. It consists of two large glass panels, each measuring 12 feet by 25 feet, with the names of the fallen etched into them. The panels are set on a concrete platform that is surrounded by a reflecting pool.

The Colorado Freedom Memorial is open to the public year-round and provides visitors with an opportunity to pay their respects to those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their country. The memorial is located in Springhill Community Park in Aurora, Colorado.
