Painting honors overlooked Civil War battle
March 28, 2013
Colorado Lt. Gov Joe Garcia and current Colorado National Guard leaders unveiled “Action at Apache Canyon” by artist Domenick D’Andrea, March 26, 2013, at the Civil War monument near the state capitol building in Denver. The National Guard Bureau Heritage Series painting depicts the charge of Apache Canyon, which took place March 26, 1862. It was the first day of the first hostile engagement for the First Colorado Infantry Regiment. These men -- more than a thousand of Colorado Territory's townsmen, farmers, ranchers and miners -- were the state's first Citizen-Soldiers. These ancestors of the modern-day Colorado National Guard carried the fate of the United States in their sights. The charge took place on the first day of the Battle of Glorieta Pass, which lasted through March 28, 1862 and was the battle in which the Coloradoans helped permanently secure the western U.S. for the Union.

What comes in a variety shapes and sizes, serves diverse purposes and could have a wingspan as large as a jet airliner or smaller than a model airplane, possibly controlled by a radio? According to the Federal Aviation Administration, Unmanned Aircraft Systems, commonly known as drones, are defined as an aircraft or device invented, used or designed to navigate or fly in the air. Because a UAS is different than a manned aircraft, sharing and introducing them into the airspace presents challenges for both the aviation communities and the FAA.
