Updating Fort Carson's GWOT Memorial
Contributed by: Douglas Rule on 5/22/2007

Tim Carr, Rocky Mountain Memorials, sandblasts names into a stone that is part of the Fort Carson Global War on Terrorism memorial in preparation for the GWOT ceremony May 24 at 10 a.m. The names are first cut into an adhesive-backed rubber template that is fixed to the stone. The exposed areas are then blasted away to a depth of about one-fourth of an inch and the sand that hits the rubber template bounces away. The engraved names are then painted with a lithochrome dye. Carr engraved all of the stones in the GWOT memorial, which is made of native Colorado flagstone from Masonville.
