Throughout the United States of America and the rest of the world, there are numerous charities which attempt to pay back Veterans for their sacrifice and service. Every Veteran who served with class, dignity, and honor has their own unique story which deserves to be told.
Honor Flight Northern Colorado – a part of the larger Honor Flight Network is an organization which attempts to give back to our Veteran community. The national chapter states their mission as being, “To transport America’s Veterans to Washington, DC to visit those memorials dedicated to honor the service and sacrifices of themselves and their friends.”
The Northern Colorado Honor Flight branch was founded in 2008 by retired Army Colonel Stan Class – who went on to establish a 12 member board of service Veterans from Weld and Larimer counties, and a media production specialist.
That’s the very mission Honor Flight Northen Colorado carries out with a high sense of pride. The Northen Colorado branch has escorted more than 2,300 Veterans to Washington D.C. Their focus began with World War II Veterans and getting them to the WWII memorial in the metro area. Now they proudly include Korean and Vietnam Veterans from the Nothern Colorado area.
