About the Marine Corps Memorial

The United States Marine Corps Memorial, located at the intersection of U.S. Highways 6 and 40 in Golden, Colorado, was the realization of a dream long held by SSgt Cyrus "Bo" Bowers, a veteran of World War II and Korea. Wartime military experience left him with the conviction that being a "special breed"; the Marines who have served in the Corp deserved a fitting recognition of their sacrifice and service. In 1994, Cyrus "Bo" Bowers was honorably interned at Ft. Logan National Cemetery in Denver, Colorado.

Ground was broken on September 13, 1975. A time capsule was deposited in the base of the Memorial on December 23, 1976. The capsule contents commemorate the United States  Bicentennial, the State of Colorado Centennial and the 201st Birthday of the United States Marine Corps. The Memorial was completed and officially dedicated to all Marines, living and dead, on August 24, 1977, by then Commandant of the Corps Gen. Louis H. Wilson Jr.
