Pueblo has a new attraction honoring our nation's most decorated war heroes. The Center for American Values is located on the riverwalk.

It features a stunning display of 142 photos of Medal of Honor recipients--four of whom are from Pueblo, including Drew Dix who was the visionary behind the center.

"When you walk in and see these pictures. You get this feeling, or at least I do, that overwhelms you," said Rod Slyhoff, President and CEO of the Greater Pueblo Chamber of Commerce.

The Center for American Values is open 7 days a week from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. There's no admission.
