Columbine Memorial - Littleton, CO - Colorado Historical Markers on Waymarking.com

The plaque reads:

On April 20, 1999, in a senseless act of violence, twelve students and one teacher were killed, and many others injured at Columbine High School. It was a tragic event that shook the Columbine and metro Denver communities, horrified and saddened the nation, and changed forever our perceptions of safety and security within a school typical of so many across America.

Over time, Columbine parents, students, faculty, and community leaders designed and constructed this Columbine Memorial to remember those killed and injured that day and honor their lives. This Memorial is dedicated to those innocent victims, so they are "never forgotten".

Within the inner circle, there are engraved plaques honor the thirteen who were killed. There are quotes and poems on the surrounding wall. The design honor Native American 'Circle of Healing' theme. (visit link)
