Mission Statement
The Veterans Plaza of Northern Colorado is dedicated to honoring all military men and women, past and present; educating children and adults about the conflicts and sacrifices those men and women have made; maintaining the physical park that is the Veterans Plaza of Northern Colorado; and working with all veterans organizations to ensure we work together to support our veterans.
About This Cause
The Veterans Plaza is located at 2626 Horsetooth Road in Fort Collins, Colorado. We have interactive screens where over 7000 men and women are listed in honor, from the Revolutionary War to some that are still serving. Our goal is to honor as many military men and women as we can. Our Board of Directors and working committee members are all volunteer. 100% of our donations go to helping and honoring veterans. We annually salute a generation of warriors: In 2021 and 2017 we honored Vietnam era Vets by bringing in the Traveling Wall; Gulf War Veterans were honored in 2019; Cold War Veterans were honored in 2018; Korean War Veterans were honored in 2016; and WWII veterans were honored in 2015. 2022 will again honor WWII veterans. We host several other events throughout the year: An example is The Veterans Charity Ride which takes disabled veterans on specially designed motorcycles to Sturgis every year. One of their key stops is at the Veterans Plaza. We provide a ceremony thanking them, a meal and lodging for the night, and work with Healing Warriors (another non-profit) to provide pain relief from the long ride, through massage therapy. We sponsor veteran speakers and an author of childrens' books about WWII (from a child's perspective), who go into elementary and middle school classrooms to speak about their experiences in the service. The author provides a set of books to classrooms and give out books to individual children. She is currently working on books about Vietnam and Korea.
