  • Four Events in Early July

    To: Veterans at Wind Crest

    Mark your calendar for four upcoming events in the first half of July.

    On July 3rd, starting at 11:30am, our departed Wind Crest friend Lt Colonel Pat Helms will be buried with full military honors at Fort Logan National Cemetery.

    On Friday July 4th, celebrate the holiday by attending the Fifth Annual Wind Crest Independence Day Parade, with its traditional parade of cars.

    On Thursday, July 10th, at 1pm in the A&E auditorium, the Veterans Speaker Series will feature Tony Thomas, Director of the Fort Logan Cemetery. Mr. Thomas has a distinguished career as a cemetery director. And, he served more than 21 years in the U.S. Marine Corps and retired at the rank of Master Sergeant. He served two combat tours in Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom, one tour in Kuwait during Operations Desert Shield/Storm and a tour in Somalia during Operation Restore Hope.

    Then on Tuesday July 15, we have the July follow-up to June’s presentation of Quilts of Valor. It’s in the Colorado Meeting Room at Wind Crest, starting at 10am. As noted below, we’ll honor Lee Frame, Steve Frank, Richard Porter and Art Tunstall.
