On June 4th, Honor Flight of Northern Colorado (HFNC) hosted their annual reunion breakfast at the Island Grove Event Center in Greeley. Over 300 veterans, guardians, and family members attended the breakfast to network, hear the latest HFNC news, and visit several exhibits. University of Colorado Health Services provided the catering and food for this inspiring event.
USAF Major General Trulan Eyre & Stan Cass,
HFNC President
HFNC President Stan Cass, retired US Army colonel, and US Air Force Major General Trulan Eyre gave presentations to the attendees and thanked the veterans for their military service.
Over 2,000 Weld and Larimer county veterans from WWII, Korean War, and Viet Nam War have made the trip to Washington DC since the HFNC organization was founded in 2008. Veterans and their guardians who have attended the Honor Flight are overwhelmed by the amount of gratitude when they depart and return during the two day trip. There are several nice surprises awaiting the veterans making the trip.
If you are a veteran from any of these three major conflicts or a family member, please consider registering any veteran for a future Honor Flight to see the popular Washington Mall and military memorials in Washington DC. They have medical staff and guardians who attend each flight to provide the best care of each veteran. Visit their website at www.honorflightnortherncolorado.org to learn more. They are accepting applications for their September 2016 Honor Flight.
