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.

Thank you to everyone who came to help us remember those who didn’t make it home.

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!

We have a really great opportunity coming up next Thursday (5/14) as the Cheyenne County Veterans Service Office partners with representatives from the Cheyenne VA Medical Center and Northern Colorado VA Health Care System to share information, answer questions, and help veterans better navigate their VA healthcare options.

This event will focus on the Care in the Community program, recent changes, and how veterans can best utilize the program for their healthcare needs. Living in a rural community, many of our veterans rely on Care in the Community services, making it especially important to understand how the process works and how to avoid common issues or delays.

Representatives will also be available to discuss VA healthcare benefits, eligibility, and services available through the VA Health Care System.

In addition, the VA will have a team on-site assisting with new Veteran Health ID Cards (VHIC) and VHIC renewals.

📅 Thursday, May 14, 2026
⏰ 6:00 PM – 7:00 PM
📍 Sidney NE Elk's Lodge No. 1894 1040 Jackson Street, Sidney, NE

We encourage veterans, family members, and healthcare providers to attend and take advantage of this opportunity to get direct information and assistance from VA representatives.
