Alamogordo will proudly roll out the red, white, and blue carpet on Saturday, September 27th, for a Heros Welcome as the community gathers downtown to Alamogordo MainStreet near the 1200 Block at the Flickinger Center's Patron's Hall to welcome home five local veterans returning from an Honor Flight to Washington, D.C.
The event, hosted by the US Veterans Motorcycle Club – Trinity Chapter and the Patriot Guard Riders, will culminate in a heartfelt reception at Patron’s Hall, 1106 New York Avenue, beginning at 7:00 p.m. September 27th, 2025.
The veterans—escorted from El Paso International Airport by a convoy of law enforcement and veteran riders—will have just completed a powerful journey to the nation’s capital, visiting memorials that honor their service and sacrifice. Among those honored are five local veterans whose stories span decades of dedication across multiple deployments and aircraft platforms. We will highlight more details of the individuals honored in an upcoming feature.
Residents are encouraged to line New York Avenue at the Flickinger Center and 12th Street with flags, signs, and cheers as the escort arrives between 7:00 and 7:30 p.m. The reception at Patron’s Hall will offer a chance to meet these heroes, hear their stories, and show appreciation for their service.
This event continues Alamogordo’s tradition of honoring its veterans with dignity and celebration. As AlamogordoTownNews.org has previously reported, many Vietnam-era veterans returned home without recognition. This Honor Flight and the community’s response aim to rewrite that narrative with gratitude and pride.
Let as the 2nd Life Media Alamogordo Town News family join together and welcome in supporting the US Veterans Motorcycle Club Trinity Chapter in making this Honor Flight Welcome the best ever. See you on the 27th!
Overcast, with a high of 79 and low of 61 degrees. Overcast in the morning,
an impressive guide, that shows the balance needed to be fair to all.
He did the same thing when he ran against Rachel. He's a pathological liar who just keeps proving it over and over.
he senses trouble....and i smell blood - time to send him to private sector employment - maybe his oil & gas friends can find something for him to do.
Lets ask the editor.
sir, are you not involved in the campaign?
there is our future, kudos to both the students and the organizers.
Sounds overblown by the reporting of this party. On base we have something like this, but it's training leaders. Pic is a few kids with some volunteers who act to shape their opinions. If the schools were good enough the kids would learns this in a classroom.
Glad to hear that the base has a youth group. Now kids in Alamo, with no way to join that group, can also have a group where they can openly discuss their concerns, experiences, and work together to present solutions.
and, no, a PhD didn’t come up with this program. A very smart, educated woman suggested it.
the problems facing the republican party of new mexico pale in comparison with those of their national party - as the old saying - Meaning: Problems in an organization or society start at the top, with its leaders.
The fish rots from the head down
True. A prime example of this was the DNC failures in the 2020 election.
I have voted Republican in the past, but not this time. Our church group knows a few people who have tried to run or get involved and the old school fools won't let anyone they don't know get in at all. You can't solve any problem with the same people who created it. That's why we have terrible doctors here.
