What People Say

"It was an absolute honor to participate and represent Fort Carson during the 2017 Salute to American Veterans Rally! I did not think you could possibly top last year's effort, but you certainly did. It was extremely moving to see examples of Veterans helping Veterans with housing issues and the motorcycle give away. You continue to provide exceptional support to the Front Range Veteran Community and run a First Class event on behalf of the Veterans in our area. Fort Carson looks forward to participating in this outstanding event again next year!"

-Col. Ron Fitch, US Army

"This event is hands-down the most impressive show of support for Active Duty Military, Veteran's and POW-MIA I have ever been a part of. Please go out and show your support and have a great time. Whether you've served or not, whether you ride or not, you will be overwhelmed by the outpouring of support at this event!"

-Ed Wise, USAF (ret.)

We personally feel that planning and executing this annual event is our duty. While many of us, myself included, have never served our great nation in the Armed Forces, this is our way to give back. While the debt of gratitude that we owe to every United States Veteran - both living and passed on, can never be repaid, this gathering is one small effort to show how much we appreciate your sacrifices to our nation, and our freedom. This is our mission.

HONOR:

To honor the memories of every fallen Veteran from the revolutionary war to the present day. To honor all living Veterans. To honor all active duty military members. To honor our flag - the symbol of our nation, and to honor our country, the greatest in the world. This is our mission.

CAMARADERIE:

To create a time and a place for Veterans to gather together and share the experiences and feelings that only Veterans can understand. Also, to create a venue in which patriotic Americans can convey their appreciation, support and respect to living Veterans and to the families of the fallen. This is our mission.

RESPECT:

To show respect to our flag, Our country, to each other and most importantly to those who protect what is dear to us. This is our mission.

FREEDOM:

Freedom is the life-blood of America. For many, the motorcycle is the embodiment of Freedom, giving the rider the ability to go where they want, when they want with few restrictions. Like an eagle flying free, the feeling is without compromise. Freedom is a precious gift to be cherished, honored, relished and respected. The gift of freedom is one that most will never enjoy, as they are forbidden by tyrants and dictators who hate freedom and despise those who have it. The gift of freedom comes with a very high price: It is paid for with the blood of hundreds of thousands of United States Veterans, and with the tears and anguish of their families. So precious is the gift of freedom that taking it for granted is unthinkable, outrageous, and nearly a sin. So we gather here, to honor, remember and respect those who pay the price for our freedom, but also to celebrate that freedom. Celebrating our freedom: This is our mission.
