Former Aggies John Mosley, Lew Walt to be honored on military day at CSU

Colorado State has designated Saturday’s game against Minnesota at Hughes Stadium as military day, and the school posthumously will honor two of its distinguished football-playing graduates — Lt. Col. John Mosley, a Manual High graduate and the first black player of the CSU football program’s modern era who went on to be a Tuskegee Airman and a career Air Force pilot and officer; and Lew Walt, who graduated from Fort Collins High and was a three-year starter and team captain for the Aggies as a senior in the 1930s. A career Marine, Walt served in three wars, was extensively decorated and eventually was a four-star general.
