Alamogordo Rallies for Heroes Welcome: Honor Flight Returns September 27th

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!
