Komen Denver Affiliate of Susan G. Komen is Educating Women on the Importance of Taking Action and Getting Screened. Getting a mammogram or clinical breast exam reminder is the first step in taking control of your breast health. Did you know that early detection and effective treatment for breast cancer have been shown to improve survival? If breast cancer can be diagnosed early, the probability of surviving the disease increases dramatically. In Colorado, 1 in 7 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. These statistics highlight the importance of receiving annual mammograms.
Please make sure to tell 7 of your closest to friends to ensure that they know that their best chance of surviving breast cancer depends on how early it is detected. To sign up for a free mammogram reminder, visit www.komendenver.org today.

See how America's wars have looked "on the ground"
This dramatic exhibition captures the essence of American soldiering over more than 150 years, since the very birth of photography. More than one hundred large-scale images show America at war—from the Civil War, Spanish American War, World War I, World War II, Korea and Vietnam to the Gulf War, Afghanistan and the streets of Baghdad. The exhibition captures the danger and frustration, the humor and beauty, the camaraderie, tragedy and victory that the American soldier has witnessed in their odyssey through history. Some exhibit imagery may not be appropriate for all audiences.
