Save the date of September 21st, 2024 at 7:30 pm for a very special hero's welcome home. This Welcome Home to Heros event is hosted by  the Patriot Guard Riders and the US Veterans Motorcycle Club, Trinity Chapter and Honor Flight

The public is invited and encouraged to join AlamogordoTownNews.com and KRAZY KALHRadio.org, as we join the community at the Fairgrounds September 21st 2024 at 7:30 pm.

Let's ensure we have a crowd of people waving flags and carrying signs welcoming home three local Vietnam Veterans from their Honor Flight.

The Honor Flight Van will be escorted by police, and the Patriot Guard Riders and the US Veterans Motorcycle Club, Trinity Chapter will come up White Sands Boulevard and to the fairgrounds for a hero's welcome and a meet and greet.

The travel plans for Honor Flight include the veterans departing from Las Cruces they fly out of El Paso to Washington DC. They will go to many sites in the DC area including Arlington and the War memorials. They will return to a “heroes welcome” at El Paso airport with their flight. They will then be escorted via the Texas State Police with assistance from the El Paso Police Department, the New Mexico State Police, the Patriot Guard Riders and the US Veterans Motorcycle Club along with the Alamogordo Police Department to bring them back to Alamogordo and be welcomed back to the fairgrounds. The Alamogordo Police Department will meet them at the city limits and will provide a police escort down White Sands Blvd to the fairgrounds for the reception.

Honor Flight of Southern New Mexico and El Paso transports America's World War II, Korean and Vietnam War Veterans to Washington DC to visit the memorials built to honor and remember those who served. This trip of a lifetime provides closure, healing and the welcome home these heroes deserve. Every Veteran is taken on the flight at no cost to themselves.
