The University of Colorado Boulder’s Army ROTC Color Guard along with the Joint ROTC Color Guard participated in the Boulder Star Lighting Ceremony. The lighting of the Boulder Star on Flagstaff Mountain is a holiday tradition since 1947.

The star lighting is a sponsored event through the City of Boulder, the Boulder Chamber and the CU Boulder Veterans Alumni Association. Each year a new designed holiday card and special vintage of wine is created and sold to support the maintenance of the Boulder Star. 

Cadet’s Lorino, Yao and Williams were in attendance to represent the Army ROTC department (pictured from the far left to right in photo above).
