Colorado American Legion State Convention. 2026. Colorado is back on the move!!! If ye ol Legioneres ever thought it was lost in days gone by, you've missed an enthusiasm that gives me hope our Veterans. Over 130 delegates and alternates rally here in Alamosa Co. this weekend to infuse new energy into the organization. This organization is non-partisan and stands for Veterans and Community. We hope to see you at one of our events and or reach out for Veterans Assistance. Soldier Strong.

This week at Boy's State. Sponsored by the American Legion Colorado. Held at NJC in Sterling Colorado. 149 young men from all over Colorado traveled here for a one week kram course in how our government operates. They held elections for 6 cities, 2 countries and state offices. They're writing bills, arguing cases, making friends and receiving invaluable hands on practice. Having a Boy's State handle on nearly any college or scholarship application gives each of these young men an upper hand.
50 years ago I was honored to attend Boy's State Colorado have cherished the experience every since. This year I finally got to give a little back as a staff member. Thank you Colorado American Legion and Post 134 of Peetz Colorado for sending me so long ago.

Special thank you to our Colorado ALA Unit 134 for the ceremony, the coffee, water, lemonade, and delicious treats.

It was an honor to hear from Lieutenant Lee Walz of his sharing some history with us and telling us his experience from the Honor Flight he was able to attend!
