Honorable Order of Kentucky Colonels

Honorable Order of Kentucky Colonels The Kentucky Colonels is a philanthropic organization that is rich in history and humble in service Kentucky has the richest of heritage and history.

Being a Kentucky Colonel is much more than having an impressive certificate to hang on the wall. The Governor's order creating the commission states that the commission carries with it a responsibility to be "Kentucky's ambassador of good will and fellowship around the world." Each Kentucky Colonel has made a contribution to that vault of legacy through the deeds that earned his or her commission. Upon receiving the commission, the new Colonel is invited to become part of the Honorable Order of Kentucky Colonels. The challenge is to become even more active in working to better the lives of all. Colonels accept this challenge without hesitation. If you are a Kentucky Colonel, go to our website at kycolonels.org to activate or reactivate your membership!
