Video of Ceremony – The Ambassador for Peace Medal
The Ambassador for Peace Medal Ceremony held June 12, 2024 at the Aurora Municipal Center in Aurora, Colorado. This ceremony recognizes those Americans who fought in the Korean War 1950-54.
With the support and cooperation of the Colorado Elks Association, the Republic of Korea and the City of Aurora, we were able to make this happen.
We are also in the process of planning the next Medal Ceremony as well. – Troy Erickson

- Mar 29: National Vietnam War Veterans Day
- Apr 3: Veterans Coalition Board Meeting
Our Motto
Yes, this is a twist on the West Point Motto: “Duty, Honor, Country”, since 1898, and used by Gen McArthur in 1962 in a famous speech. We have discussed that our mission has changed in recent years from “Veterans Helping Veterans” to include more general Community involvement, so we decided on this new motto in 2023.
We think our Motto speaks about our current mission.
Duty
We still have the original mission: Duty to support Veterans who have sacrificed so much. Support the VSO. Support the Military Active, Guard, and Reserve doing the work now. Support the first responders protecting our community.
Honor
Honor the Veterans past, present and future by doing the patriotic ceremonies and by maintaining the monuments to Veterans.
Community
We get super volunteer help and representation from Veterans, non-veterans, and organizations in the Community. Our projects aim to benefit the community, for example the Food Distribution Project, and the Wreaths Across America Project.
